PORTUGAL ITINERARY
We’re proud to admit—we obsess over the details… because you deserve nothing less than the extraordinary.
Our Portugal Adventure has been carefully curated from the ground up, and the itinerary you see below is still evolving. True excellence takes time—with a touch of patience—as we carefully select musicians, wines, wineries, restaurants and venues that rise to meet our exacting standards. If something doesn’t meet our standards, it will be replaced with an experience of equal or greater quality. We’re always refining—so when you receive the final version, every moment will be exactly as remarkable as we believe it should be.
Day 1, Sunday
Olá & Welcome to the Heights of Porto
Welcome to the beginning of an extraordinary luxury journey through one of the world’s most soulful and stunning regions. From your 5-star home base at The Yeatman Hotel overlooking the Douro River and the ancient city of Porto, we’ll kick off our adventure with a curated wine tasting featuring sparkling, Vinho Verde, and Douro reds. Mindi & Eric will host this private welcome reception. Expect music, laughter, and fast friendships. Then we’ll enjoy a gourmet multi-course dinner with panoramic views of the city.
Day 2, Monday
Vinho Verde, Gardens, & Wine… Yes, Please!
We head north into the lush hills of the Vinho Verde region for a private tour and traditional lunch at the enchanting Quinta da Aveleda—a family-run estate with magical gardens and world-renowned wines. After a private concert in a secret garden nook, we return to Porto for a luxurious bespoke fragrance session with a Portuguese perfumer. Then it’s dinner with wine pairings at the trendy Enoteca 17.56, a culinary gem of Porto.
Day 3, Tuesday
Port Traditions & Secret Society Dining
After breakfast, we explore one of Portugal’s most iconic exports—Port wine—with a private tasting at the historic Graham’s Lodge, pairing rare bottles with chocolates, cheeses, and even the beloved pastel de nata. The afternoon brings beach views and fresh seafood in a cosmopolitan seaside restaurant. Then prepare for a once-in-a-lifetime dinner and concert at the Feitoria Inglesa—a royal-worthy, invitation-only British Port shippers’ club, where traditions, elegance, and incredible acoustics make for an unforgettable evening.
Day 4, Wednesday
Douro Valley: A Day Of Adventure, Beauty, Music, Wine… And The Countess!
All aboard! This morning we travel by private carriages on the scenic Douro railway line, hugging the riverbanks of this UNESCO World Heritage wine region. With local folk musicians, Port tastings, and stunning views, it’s a journey you’ll never forget. We’ll visit the renowned Quinta Nova de Nossa Senhora do Carmo for a guided tour, vineyard lunch, and wine pairings. Then, a cruise on a traditional Rabelo boat, and finally, a show and dinner at a private Douro manor estate owned by a viscountess.
