Optional: Douro River Wine and Port Tasting Tour with Nomad Steps Tours (https://www.nomadsteps.eu/)
100 euro cash collected on the day of the trip​
During the 2023 season, we hired Timur from Nomad Steps to lead our group through the Douro River valley for a wine tasting, a regional lunch, and a Port tasting day. ​
The first stop is Lamego, to see the blue-and-white-tiled stairway running from the town center up to a pretty Sé on the hill above, and then have a café in the town square. Lunch in the town of Regua, across the Douro, is delicious. Afterward, the Quinta do Seixo-Sandman’s Port Winery, situated on the hills above the river, offers incredible views of the historic area and a wonderful tasting session and education on the wide variety of Ports. This all-day trip, which includes visits to small and well-known winemakers in the UNESCO-protected region, is a lovely way to see and taste what northern Portugal has to offer. We travel in a comfortable, air-conditioned van and enjoy Timur's knowledge of the area.
