Fernwayer’s Douro Valley Tours
Experience the magic of Douro Valley through our exclusive, privately guided tours. Discover authentic Portuguese culture with our expert local guides.
Welcome to the Douro Valley, the world's oldest demarcated wine region. Our Douro Valley tours take you along river bends on tranquil boat rides through terraced vineyards for intimate tastings and along windy roads in search of the region's best lookouts. You'll discover Portugal's rich wine heritage but also step inside historic palaces, meet artisans shaping ceramics by hand, and immerse yourself in musical traditions that echo through the villages in the east. As summer begins to wrap up, we invite you to join the annual harvest, picking grapes and stomping them before hunkering down for a traditional lunch paired with regional wines. Our experiences showcase the Douro through the people who have lived here for generations, preserving a way of life that is forever tied to the land and its resources.
MAKE THE MOST OF YOUR TIME
Fernwayer’s Douro Journeys — suggested itineraries, designed by us, booked by you — are anchored in our curated experiences.
The Human Edit
Need help planning your trip? A Fernwayer curator takes your preferences and designs a custom travel itinerary that works. This is human-led travel planning — by someone who understands the art of travel itinerary design — built around your dates and preferences. Each personalized itinerary uses Fernwayer experiences as anchors and complements them with recommendations for flights, hotels, restaurants, and self-explore ideas.
