Douro River Cruise - Private River Cruise - Pinhão 1 Hour
Overview
The river all to yourselves. Step aboard at our own dock in Pinhão and sail the Douro. Your local guide will share the stories behind the terraced vineyards, historic wine estates and riverside villages you pass along the way.
Raise a glass of Port or sparkling wine as you cruise, with background music setting the mood on board. Because the boat is yours alone, the experience can be shaped around you: a marriage proposal, an anniversary or birthday celebration, a family gathering, your own playlist, or a special bottle of wine. Just tell us what you have in mind and we will take care of the rest.
Ideal for couples, families and small groups looking for a relaxed, personal moment on the Douro.
