What To Expect
Being close to the city, you won't see any buildings or crowds of people. Here, nature reigns so that you can truly experience the other pleasures we have prepared for you.
To make your departure a relaxing moment, we'll serve you an elegant "Taylor's Chip Dry White Port" in a perfect blend of "Fever Tree" tonic water. To accompany this refreshing drink, some toast spread with green olive paste.
We set sail, admiring the ‘Carrapatelo Dam’. Further upstream we anchor in shallow waters surrounded by a unique landscape where only silence and a few birds will keep us company! The perfect moment to try our special ‘Rosé’ from ‘Quinta do Vallado’, a single variety ‘Touriga Nacional’. To accompany it, some delicious ‘Bolinhos de Bacalhau’, in true Portuguese flavour.
We continue along the famous river beach ‘Praia da Lomba’ with its picturesque hillside houses. Just in time to savour a white wine from the Douro with a peculiar grape variety: ‘Moscatel Galego’ accompanied by the world-famous ‘Portuguese canned Sardines’! On our way back, Portuguese charcuterie is served alongside a magnificent red wine from ‘Casa Ferreirinha’, one of the most prestigious estates in the Douro.
