Highlights
A UNESCO-designated wine village. Favaios earned its wine-growing village status from UNESCO in 2001 — a genuine cultural distinction, not just a scenic vineyard.
Live music with the harvest. Grape cutting and transport to the lagar accompanied by traditional music and concertina adds real festive character rarely found elsewhere.
Both Moscatel and Port explained. The guided Enoteca visit covers the vinification of two distinct styles, giving real depth beyond a simple tasting.
An evening built around real tradition. From the welcome Moscatel to the closing Douro dinner, the whole evening follows the rhythm of an authentic harvest celebration.
