Travel journal
A day in the Douro from Porto
A wine estate, lunch overlooking the river and time to wander through Pinhão. Start with the visit you would most like to linger over.
If you arrive by train
Make Pinhão the centre of your day. Walk from the station to the quay and choose somewhere nearby for lunch. For an estate visit, arrange the journey there and back to the station before booking a tasting.
If a wine estate is the highlight
Start with the tasting time. Plan lunch afterwards and keep the Casal de Loivos viewpoint as an optional stop. If you would prefer a river cruise, check the departure from the quay before reserving the tasting.
What fits into one day?
For an unhurried lunch, choose either a tasting or a cruise as the main visit. To enjoy both, confirm the two reservations and the travel time between them before settling on your route.
