What To Expect
We head from Marina da Afurada towards the beautiful historic area of Porto and Cais de Gaia.
Passing the Arrábida Bridge, we start by serving the first wine of your choice and preference. Arriving at Ponte D. Luiz I, we serve a tasting board with superior cheeses, charcuterie, jams and assorted chutneys, fresh fruit, gourmet crackers, dried fruits, among other flavors that we can have such as olives in olive oil, or roasted chorizo… And at the Along the undulating river and quietly appreciating its banks to the sound of good music, we head towards the sea. We can, if our customers so wish, change the wine to try another one of your preference and we finish with Ruby, white and tawny Port wines so that they bring a complete sensation of flavors.
At the end of our tour, we can also direct our visitors to our micro gourmet space where they can purchase some of the products they tasted on board.
