Overview

Discover Port wine in a different way — aboard Cabernet, our charming boat built in 1963, with a maximum of just 6 guests.

Taste 4 carefully selected Port wines from small Portuguese producers, each paired with traditional Portuguese delicacies. As Porto's beautiful riverside scenery unfolds, discover the flavours, stories and traditions behind one of Portugal's most iconic wines.

From the colourful Ribeira to the quieter waters near the river's mouth, enjoy a relaxed 2-hour cruise filled with beautiful views, good conversation and genuine Portuguese hospitality.

Hosted by a local family who truly loves the Douro, this isn't a crowded tourist boat or a formal wine tasting. It's a welcoming shared experience where you can slow down, feel at home and discover Porto from a different perspective.

A historic boat. Four Port wines. Just six guests.

Small in size. Rich in experience. Unmistakably Portuguese.

Frequently Asked Questions (9)

Q: Will I get seasick on Porto: Douro Cruise on a 1963 Boat – 4 Port Wines, Max 6?

A: If you have any doubts about becoming seasick on the water, we recommend taking a Dramamine® Motion Sickness Relief tablet the night before your trip. Some people recommend taking it the night before your cruise and then again that morning so you will not feel so drowsy. Read more Feb 2023
