We will take a walking tour and attend a cooking class at the Sogrape winery. Leaving Porto, we will travel through the Douro Valley to Villa Real and the Mateus Palace and gardens. We will visit the wine region of Santar, a small village with beautiful manor houses. Our tour concludes in Lisbon, with time to explore the capital’s heritage and history.
