Spring is the most pleasant time of the year. Days start to get longer and warmer, and spending time outside suddenly feels very inviting. The green gets greener, the blue sky turns brighter and flowers blooming everywhere it all seems magical. Well, and it is, at least here in Portugal!
Here is a list of the Top 4 Experiences you just can't skip this Spring.
It´s great to be outdoors during the Spring months. To take a walk along the lavish green Douro's landscape taking your time to relax or to sail the Douro river and breath for a while. And if you are thinking that the perfect setting would include a Port wine tasting and maybe some delicious food as well, we are going to make that happen. Read on...Picnic in the Vineyards
Picnics are a fun thing to do. But when do you have the opportunity to do it right in the middle of secular vineyards sightseeing the snake-like Douro river in the background?
Some wine estates in Portugal can provide that unique experience perfect for everyone. Enjoy it with your family, friends, or even in a romantic getaway. Go ahead choose your spot in the vineyard and make that the moment when you reveal your feelings to your loved ones and then unveil what is inside your basket to celebrate the moment. Everything you're about to taste is carefully selected and the wine will be the perfect pairing. Only the best regional wine and delicacies (or in Portuguese: Petiscos) combined with some charming and distinctive details selected for you will be inside your basket. Immerse yourself in the magnificent scenery and enjoy each flavor and each minute.
