Wake up to the beautiful Douro landscape and recharge your batteries with a fantastic breakfast in the hotel. The Chauffeur is waiting for you in the lobby of the Hotel.

You will discover the Douro Valley on an exclusive cruise in a Vintage Boat, a 66 feet Classic Wooden Yacht, an English ship built in 1957 in the shipyards of Christchurch, England, with a double hull in mahogany from Honduras, riveted with copper that gives her an added value both in safety and worth. The boat served the British Admirals on their travels to the high seas for the 'exchange' of officers on the battleships. Aboard the ship, you will enjoy a 3-hour cruise and an amazing lunch. Live moments of intimacy with nature while you travel with emotion along with the history until the times when the rabelos boats moved by the force of the sails and are amazed by the scenarios that the Douro has to offer. 

After the cruise, you will find Quinta Nova Nossa Senhora do Carmo"One of the 9 must-see wineries in the world", distinguished by American Airlines. This is a place of extreme beauty in the heart of the Douro and it's been owned by the Amorim family since 1999. But this property was before 1764 and historical research confirms it as a great land belonging to the Portuguese Royal Family. You will enjoy an exclusive guided tour through the vines, the winery dated from 1764, and the underground cellar. The visit ends with a tasting of 5 wines Quinta Nova at the wine Shop.

Meet the Chauffeur, visit Pinhão, and return to the Hotel.
