Beginning in Portugal, discover the charms of the Douro River on an immersive journey across the breadth of the country. You’ll find locals still ply their traditional trades, regional fare is authentic and honest, and the people are welcoming and passionate about their heritage. Sip the famous Port wine that has been produced in the same way since the first terraced vineyards were planted on the banks of the river centuries ago. Then travel to Bordeaux, where you’ll soon see that this region is everything you’d imagine it to be, beautiful, romantic and a feast for all senses. As you cruise along the Gironde, Dordogne and Garonne rivers, cycle through picturebook landscapes, learn the winemaking process and sample delicious fare prepared with French finesse.
