One of the most beautiful landscapes in the world: the Douro Valley - source of the Port wine. The Douro region, a World Heritage Site since 2001, is famous for producing one of the best wines in the world – the Port wine. In addition to the production techniques, there is the singular beauty of the region. The geography of the Douro Valley, with its vineyards worked over the centuries by the human hand, is unique in the world and surprises the most demanding look. The assorted viewpoints over the river and over the vineyards will prove it.

Me and my boyfriend were staying in Porto in december and have decided to visit the Douro Valley with BL Heritage Tours. We couldnt make the best option!!! We have booked their Premium Wine Experience through Douro Valley and it was fantastic... Amazing views, delicious gourmet food and much more. We visited a boutique Winery and tasted Douro Valley wines guided by a proper wine educator. Very comfortable vehicle with a relax driving. I have no words to describe how fantastic it is. Top notch was the private tour with some snacks and Port wine onboard. The price looks high but is nothing comparing what is included. Highly recomended.
