Day Trip from Porto Vinho Verde and Amarante

Embark on a captivating and enriching journey through the breathtaking Vinho Verde wine region of northern Portugal, starting with a morning pick-up from your hotel in Porto. Relish in the picturesque scenery of the "Green Region”. The moniker of this exquisite wine is "Green Wine", which refers not to its hue, but to its youthful, invigorating character. The natural conditions of this picturesque region are perfectly suited for producing exceptional white wines, effervescent bubblies, and luxurious spirits. Experience the timeless charm and allure of the historic city of Amarante, adorned with a 13th-century bridge and the 16th-century Church of Sao Goncalo Monastery, its chapel home to the tomb of revered Dominican friar, Saint Goncalo. Traverse the enchanting Romanesque Route, a trail steeped in Portugal's rich history, which connects the country's most iconic churches, memorials, castles, and ruins. At the first Vinho Verde Wine producer of the day, witness the unique methods used to craft Portugal's world-renowned green wine, and indulge in the crisp flavours and delicate aromas of this delectable nectar. In a wine-tasting workshop designed for you, enhance your knowledge of the distinct varietals of grapes used in each exquisite blend. As your journey continues, take a leisurely drive down the idyllic country lanes to another vineyard, where you'll further expand your palate and refine your discernment of this extraordinary wine. This is a boutique wine producer, where you will be welcomed by the owners, who will reveal all the property secrets. Having uncovered some of Portugal's most prized cultural treasures, your enchanting journey concludes with a return to your hotel in Porto, enriched with unforgettable memories of this unique adventure.
