Douro Valley Europe Portugal Wine Harvesting
Share this tip:
Written by dourowalks
We are Sílvia and António and we live in Ervedosa do Douro, a village on the southern bank of river Douro. We’ve created Douro Walks, a project based on hiking tours and experiences in Douro valley.
Our family works in the terraces of vineyards, olive and almond trees for generations. We are committed with the Douro culture and landscape. We intend to share that with you.
Our programmes are private and customizable and are meant to provide an authentic look into the sights, traditions, food and wine of Douro Valley.

This walk begins in Pinhão train station and allows us to go at the hilltop of Casal de Loivos, a small village close to Pinhão. It’s a short walk but it shows perfectly the magnificent Douro valley: villages, valleys, vineyards and olive trees.
3 Wine Houses & 10 Wines + Tapas Private Tour
Taste local & regional tapas food from Porto and the North of Portugal, learn how table wine and Port Wine are made and stored, visit a Port Wine Cellar.

We have visited the Valley on a previous trip from Canada but not at harvest time. We would love to participate in some way. Could you please let me know what is available for a couple and approximate costs? Timing for us would be September 29 to October 6/23. Obrigada!

Hi Ruth,
Thank you for your interest.
Considering your dates, we are just available on the 5th of October, Thursday. And about a programme of harvest, we are small grape producers and not really a farm. We do harvest with the family and with some people from the village. Of course you can join. But there is other situation: we don't know if we will be harvesting at these days.
Anyway the programme can include some interaction with our life here and we include a typicl picnic lunch. This has a total cost of 220€ / 2 people / private tour. This is similar to one programme we have at our webpage called «Ervedosa do Douro walk».
Please let us know if this works for you.
Thank you,
António
