Upon returning to land, we’ll proceed to the Tua area for a leisurely lunch at a charming country house, where we will spend about 2 hours savoring the local cuisine in a picturesque vineyard setting.

Your culinary adventure will begin with a selection of regional cheeses and cured meats as an appetizer. For the main dish, opt for a tender veal steak or a delicious fish dish. To conclude the meal, indulge in a seasonal dessert, all paired with red and white wines.

Once we have satisfied our appetites, a panoramic train ride of half an hour will take us through the breathtaking valley. We’ll then return to Pinhão, providing you with around 20 minutes to explore, take photos, or simply enjoy the tranquil ambiance of the village.

Our adventure continues with an hour and 15 minutes dedicated to visiting a winery, where you can admire the breathtaking terraced landscapes of the Douro Wine Region. Cap off the tour with a tasting of 3 exquisite wines!
