The New Gold Experience
The Day will start between 09:30. On modern, comfy and luxurious Mercedes-Benz small vehicles, we’ll be picking you up at your accommodations in Porto/Douro Valley area.
The driving time from Porto to the Douro Wine Valley will take approximately 1h20 minutes: half by highway and the other half taking a beautiful foothill road that will show you the incredible landscape of the surrounded areas of the Douro Valley. We will use the traveling time to immerse you in the Douro Valley cultural and historical background and give you the necessary inputs so you’ll be able to understand the most important factors that contributed over thousands of years to forge and sculpt this singular Wine Country. The soil, the climate, the grape varieties, the viticulture styles, winemaking processes and the people who occupied the territory.
Like a dear guest once said: “If you don’t see it, you’ll not believe it!”
11:00 – Arrival to the Douro Valley Wine Country, World Heritage Site by UNESCO since 2001. The first wine region in the world to be demarcated with geographical boundaries and creating regulation for Wine production (in September 1756)
We will start by visiting one of our premium Wineries on the day for Wine tastings. Our partners are selected not only because of their wine quality but also the overall experience you will have regarding information, tasting explanation and very importantly: the art of Hospitality and the deep connection they have with the area. In all wineries you will have the opportunity to taste a variety of wines. Our goal is to prepare tastings that exemplify the quality but also the diversity of Douro Wine Valley Ports, Reds and White Wines.
