Highlights of the Douro with Spain

  PDF this page

Savor Portuguese nature, culture, and cuisine on a Dionysian paddling odyssey through romantic wine country — a unique adventure that is ours alone! We’ve tapped our years of connections with the families of the Douro Valley to offer this rare personal encounter with Old World Europe. The sun glints on the glassy surface of the Douro as we dip our paddles, gliding through northern Portugal's Port wine district. Hawks circle overhead between rugged mountains terraced with ancient vineyards. Tranquil mornings on the river give way to afternoon hikes in hillside orchards and festive evenings at centuries-old quintas, the wine estates of the Douro Valley. Within these hospitable family-run inns, share warm revelry with our hosts, and enjoy an inside view of contemporary rural life in Portugal. As our hosts say, "A sua saude" — To your health!
