What's this trip about?

    Sip your way to sunny Portugal and immerse yourself in the beauty of its wine country. Taste local wines and tour wineries, all while taking in the vibrant culture of this colorful country. Start in picturesque Porto, drive to the vast Valley of Douro, then treat yourself to a farewell dinner in Lisbon. As you drive through Portugal, keep your eyes peeled and your camera ready - beauty lies around every corner. Gaze out at the bright blue sea from a restaurant in Porto, then enjoy your included Oporto river cruise and wine cellar visit! Float down the Douro River and experience Portugal from a truly unique perspective. Drive to nearby Douro Valley and feel your eyes wander among the endless green vineyards. Visit Quinta winery, tour its grounds, and end your day with a delicious tasting. Lastly, Lisbon will be waiting for you. Take the famous Tram 28 through the winding streets of the city, stroll through picturesque Alfama, and see the majestic Belem Tower in person! See the world-renowned Jeronimos Monastery, explore Sao Jorge Castle, or venture off to the fantastical land of Sintra.
