Douro Valley Multi-Active

Throughout the day take in the contrasts of the region, the areas Catholic roots and traditional Pagan history, starting in the rural countryside and ending your day in urban city of Chaves.

Start today in Montalegre, at the only national park in Portugal. Cycle by villages and feel connected to the traditional Portuguese way of life before arriving at a sophisticated contemporary art gallery and home to a geometric abstractionist painter.

You have the classic Douro valley day ahead of you filled with the terraced highlands of the Douro river and of course Port tastings. Hike the charming alleys and enjoy a refreshing picnic by a group of local women on a private riverboat that will take you upstream the river.

Ramble through the hillsides crammed with vines in the village of Pomarelhe and follow the trails to a secluded family-run Port producer for a picnic in their beautiful garden. Relax at your leisure back at the sumptuous hotel this afternoon.

Today's ride kicks it up a notch with a more challenging uphill ride with rewarding and stunning vistas. Bike past vineyards hugging the rivers edge and pause for lunch with a Michelin starred chef.
