Porto Douro Cruise 6 Bridges and Wine Tasting Sunset

We propose an intimate experience for just 10 people, where each passenger is greeted as a friend. Our trip begins at Douro Marina (Afurada), in Pontão C, where our local crew awaits you with a smile to guide you through the heart of Porto. We sailed between the shores of Porto and Gaia, celebrating the history of the 6 bridges with a sensory journey through the wines of Portugal. As the landscapes parade, we serve a cured selection: we start with the freshness of the Green Wine, we follow for the elegance of the Rosé in Ribeira, and we reach the intensity of the Tinto at the Ponte D. Maria, all accompanied by a table of local products. We ended, as could not fail to be, with a toast of Port Wine. Whether on a daytime walk or in the magical sunset hour, where, whenever the sea allows, we watch the sun dive into the Atlantic, we guarantee a relaxed, friendly and unforgettable atmosphere.
