This three-hour experience takes you from Pinhão to Quinta da Levandeira do Roncão, a working family estate in the Alto Douro.
Your guide collects you at Pinhão railway station and drives you up into the terraced hills to the estate. There you see the property and its setting above the valley before sitting down in the tasting room.
The tasting is a vertical of three Port wines — a White Port, a 10 Year Old Tawny and a Late Bottled Vintage — poured and explained one by one, so you can compare three styles and three approaches to ageing. They are served with a board of regional cheese, cured meats and bread from the Douro and Trás-os-Montes.
On the way back you stop at a viewpoint over the terraced valley for photographs, before being dropped off at your starting point in Pinhão.
The group is limited to four guests and there is one departure a day, at 11am.
