Come and discover the Douro Valley with this Rabelo boat tour from Pinhão to Romaneira!
The Douro Valley in Portugal is one of the largest wine producers in Europe with more than 100 indigenous varieties, whose terraced vineyards are a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Romaneira, located 1.5 hours from Porto and 45 minutes from Vila-Real, is the largest wine producing estate, due to its different microclimates, with 412 hectares and 3 kilometres of riverbank on the Douro River.
A boat trip on the Douro River is a special and unique way to get to know the Douro Valley and Romaneira. The crew of Companhia Turística do Douro offers you a one hour boat tour by rabelo from Pinhão to Romaneira. A rabelo is a typical Portuguese boat that used to transport wine barrels from the Douro Valley to the cellars of Porto. On this rabelo boat tour through the Douro Valley you will live this authentic experience on board of a comfortable and elegant rabelo with a maximum capacity of 60 people. You will depart from the port of Pinhão in the direction of Romaneira and during the trip you will observe the vineyards while listening to an audio guide who will tell you about the history of this valley and the wine tradition.
