São João da Pesqueira Grape Harvest Tour

Experience the Douro harvest in São João da Pesqueira!

Join us at our winery right in the heart of the Douro Valley for an unforgettable day celebrating the harvest. It’s the perfect moment to discover local traditions, flavors and the joy of winemaking near São João da Pesqueira. Walk along the vineyards, try traditional foot treading, and get a hands-on look at how wine is made — from vineyard to glass. Along the way, you’ll visit the winery to taste Port directly from the barrel, chat with the winemaker over a morning snack, and finish with a homemade Douro lunch paired with the estate’s own wines — an authentic, full day introduction to Douro wine culture.

Highlights

Port straight from the barrel. Taste an old Port wine directly from the barrel during your cellar visit — a rare treat most tastings can’t offer.

Real foot treading, not a show. Step into the lagares and take part in traditional grape stomping, the same way it’s been done in the Douro for generations.

A proper Douro lunch, with choices. Pick your main course from three regional dishes, all paired with the winery’s own wines — a full, satisfying meal, not a light snack.

Time with the winemaker. A morning snack and chat with the winemaker gives real insight into the estate’s wines, beyond what a standard tour covers.
