Itinerary

As we approach our Winery for the day we start seeing the beautiful vineyards that surround it. We finally arrive to the Wine Estate and start by visiting the Estate gardens.

In the late morning we will have a wine and appetizers tasting assisted by the Oenologists of the Estate. Already with a bit of wine in our system to cheer us up, we go to the Vineyards to start the grape picking! Out here you need to earn your lunch, so only filled up baskets are accepted!

The Douro is famous for still doing some of its wine by stomping by feet, so now it’s time for you contribute to the tradition: all to the lagar!

All this activity probably made you thirsty so we step into the Sanctuary of Moscatel to discover this delicious nectar they’ve been making for more than 100 years.

Because you did your job right, you’ll be awarded a delicious Douro Regional lunch paired with the Estate White and Red. To close our time at the Winery on a high note you’ll taste a sparkling wine made in the area.

Then we get back in the car and drive down the road to visit two of the most beautiful viewing points of the region.

Stop At:

• Quinta de Avessada, Rua Direita, Favaios 5070-272 Portugal

Our tour guide Antonio was fabulous. His attention to detail and personalized care made the day special. Odds are you are never going to own a vineyard in order to have this experience. A must trip to the valley. Do it with Antonio you won't be disappointed.

Well organized pick up in a van with A/C, wifi and water provided. Smooth ride to the facility. We harvested grapes for the perfect amount of time, then did our stomping. It was so much fun. We had a huge lunch, appetizers, soup, entree and dessert with more wine. Great day overall. Our guide was amazing the entire time and did a great job explaining the area and history.
