Porto : Croisière sur le Douro, 6 ponts et 4 vins de Porto (7 personnes maximum)
Description
AlmaDouro est née d'un amour pour le fleuve et la ville. Pour nous, le luxe est simple : chaleur, authenticité et un véritable souci du détail. Rejoignez une croisière conviviale en petit groupe sur le Douro (7 personnes maximum) au départ de la marina du Douro, près du village de pêcheurs d'Afurada. Pendant environ 2 heures, découvrez Porto depuis le fleuve en naviguant sous ses ponts emblématiques et le long des quais historiques de Ribeira et de Vila Nova de Gaia. À bord, profitez d'une dégustation informelle de 4 vins de Porto de qualité provenant de petits producteurs du Douro, sélectionnés avec Blend.pt, servis avec de petits accords pour mettre en valeur chaque verre (il ne s'agit pas d'un repas). Musique, Wi-Fi, toilettes et couvertures chaudes incluses pour les journées plus fraîches. Pas de foule, pas de micros — juste une ambiance détendue, des conversations et la beauté de Porto, à la manière d'AlmaDouro.

Marina du Douro ; Notre voyage commence à la Marina du Douro, dans le village pittoresque et traditionnel d'Afurada.
Conçu par l'architecte italien Nicolau Nasoni, la Tour des Clérigos, longue de plus de 75 mètres, a été achevée en 1763. Initialement, sa fonction était de servir de clocher, mais au fil des années, elle a également fini par être utilisée comme repère pour les navires, ainsi que comme point stratégique pour combat militaire. La visite de Torre dos Clérigos comprend un voyage de 225 étapes jusqu'au sommet où vous pourrez profiter d'une vue panoramique sur la ville de Porto et Gaia.
Il s'agit d'un pont métallique à deux tabliers, construit entre 1881 et 1886, reliant les villes de Porto et Vila Nova de Gaia séparées par le fleuve Douro.
Une visite à Ribeira ne pouvait pas être manquée. La meilleure et la plus belle carte postale de la ville, avec toutes ses couleurs, sa vie et son histoire, Osez le connaître !
Le monastère de Serra do Pilar est un lieu austère Église du XVIIème siècle. Il est classé par l'UNESCO au patrimoine mondial depuis 1996. L'église, classée Monument National, se distingue par son plan circulaire, couvert par une imposante voûte hémisphérique, entourée d'un balcon et couronnée d'une lanterne. À l’intérieur, se distinguent les œuvres sculptées dorées et blanches. Il conserve un beau cloître, également classé Monument National, avec une voûte circulaire à nervure centrale soutenue par 36 colonnes ioniques. Ce monastère maniériste est un exemple unique au Portugal, car l'église et le cloître sont de plan circulaire, un modèle issu de l'architecture civile. Sa situation géographique fut cruciale en 1809, lors des invasions des troupes napoléoniennes et en 1832-33 comme base militaire lors des luttes libérales. Élevée au rang de forteresse, elle a depuis été transformée en caserne militaire.
Le pont D. Maria Pia est une infrastructure ferroviaire qui transportait la ligne du Nord sur le fleuve Douro, entre les villes de Porto et Vila Nova de Gaia, au nord du Portugal. Il a été inauguré le 4 novembre 1877 et fermé le 24 juin 1991, après avoir été remplacé par le Pont de São João. Il est considéré, avec le Viaduc de Garabit, comme le plus grand chef-d'œuvre réalisé par l'ingénieur Gustave Eiffel. Au moment de son inauguration, c'était le pont doté de la plus grande arche en fer du monde. Il est depuis classé Monument National. 1982.
Avec 66,35 ha, la Réserve Naturelle Locale de l'Estuaire du Douro est située sur la rive sud de l'embouchure de cette rivière, à proximité du village de pêcheurs d'Afurada, englobant Cabedelo et la baie de São Paio, où se trouve un marais salant. Parmi les valeurs naturelles qu'il protège, on distingue les oiseaux qui vivent ici ou qui y transitent et qui peuvent être facilement observés, car ils sont situés sur le couloir migratoire connu sous le nom de « Route de l'Atlantique Est ».
L'expérience se termine à l'embouchure du Douro, juste à côté de l'océan Atlantique

There are many boats that do the same 6 bridges trip, so it’s all about the crew. Paulo and Nadie were very friendly and made us feel among friends. They supplied us with hats, music and adjusted drinks to our taste. There’s space on the boat with shade and also in the open for sun seekers.
Thank you so much, Matthias! We’re really happy you enjoyed the afternoon with us. There may be many boats on the Douro, so for us the difference is always in the little things — making people feel welcome, comfortable and at home. It was a pleasure having you aboard! Nádia e Paulo
Incredible experience! What a lovely boat with amazing hosts. We loved cruising the river, seeing Porto from the water, and tasting some fine port wines. Nadia and Paulo were extremely hospitable and even gave my two-year-old his own "wine" (juice) and snacks to share in the experience. They also made sure to have a life jacket available for him, which was important to us. Could not recommend this enough. Lovely, intimate experience where you're treated as one of the family. Major plus was having one of the best port tastings you could ask for!
Thank you so much, Jake. This review truly made us smile. It was such a pleasure to welcome your group on board and share that late-morning Port wine tasting with you. You were all so kind, warm and easy to host — exactly the kind of people who make the Douro feel even more special. And of course, little Captain Cooper completely stole our hearts. Seeing him enjoy his “wine”, his snacks and the boat adventure was unforgettable — even his protest when it was time to leave was the sweetest compliment we could receive. Thank you for your kindness and for sharing this moment with us. We’ll remember your time on board with a big smile. Nadia and Paulo
We didn’t have an idea of how the tour would be and were happily surprised. We were greeted by our hosts Nadia and her husband and immediately were presented with warm reception. When we were onboard were accommodated and made feel as if it were the boat owners and they were there to sail boat for us while we relaxed and took in the scenery. They provided a delicious port wine tonic cocktail as a welcome drink which was absolutely delicious and refreshing. The provided a lot of history of the region and six bridges on the Dourous River. We were also presented with a great charcuterie board and other delicious port wine tonic. They had warm blankets to shelter us from the cold weather. A very lovely and hospitable couple. Thank you both for giving us such an amazing experience.
Thank you so much, Rosemary, for your beautiful words. It means a lot to us to know that you and your husband felt so welcomed and comfortable on board. We always hope our guests can relax, enjoy the beauty of the Douro and feel truly cared for, so your review makes us very happy. Thank you both for sailing with us and for bringing such lovely energy on board. Warm wishes, Nádia & Paulo
We were in Porto in November, a bit unlucky with bad weather, on the day of the cruise on the Douro river we arrive at the meeting point and we discover that we are the only two participants. We thought we'd be asked to cancel or move, and instead we left anyway. It was a beautiful and surreal experience, very few boats on the river, at one point we were the only ones with the whole view to ourselves. The weather also graced us and we were able to enjoy part of the trip outside, sipping port wine and relaxing. It was a really nice experience. Thanks to Nadia and Paulo who treated us divinely, two very kind, nice and super professional people!
Carlota, grazie mille! 🤍 Che gioia sapere che la crociera, anche con il maltempo, è stata unica. Siamo felici di essere partiti comunque e di avervi regalato quel Douro “solo per voi”, con Porto e relax. Grazie per la fiducia — tornate quando volete! Nadia & Paulo
This was THE best port tasting experience I had (I did 3 while in Porto). This husband and wife team really know what they are doing. She thoughtfully paired the different ports with foods that enhanced the flavor. No boring lectures here. And as we passed landmarks little anecdotes were told, very endearing. Even though there were no sunsets to be seen, this is THE port tasting experience in Porto. Thank you Nadia and Paulo!
Hello! This is, by far, the best reward! We are thrilled to have provided the best Port wine tasting the city has ever had. For us, the pairing and the anecdotes are key. It's our way of bringing the story to life! Thank you for highlighting our work and passion. It's a pleasure to serve you! Best regards, Nádia and Paulo
Nadia and Paul were excellent throughout our Douro 6 bridges river excursion....very friendly and informative.
Thank you so much! We're truly happy to know you enjoyed the Douro experience. Foi um prazer partilhar este passeio convosco — a vossa simpatia tornou tudo ainda mais especial. Esperamos voltar a recebê-los em breve para mais momentos memoráveis! ⛵😊 Nádia e Paulo
Alma and Paulo were absolutely amazing ,great service and very genuine good hearted people I would strongly recommend!!!
Thank you so much, Katie! Your kind words truly mean a lot to us. It was a joy to have you on board and share this experience. We're grateful for your recommendation and hope to welcome you again one day! Nadia e Paulo
We had a wonderful time on this sunset boat tour in Porto! We sat on the outside seating on the boat and were very comfortable, when it got colder we were immediatly offered blankets. It felt like the whole experience was well planned and thought through. The views of the city from the water were stunning, and the experience was made even better with a delicious cheeseboard, drinks, and a lovely port wine tasting. The couple who run the tour are so warm and welcoming, and they also share interesting explanations about the landmarks along the river, which made the ride even more special. Generaly the whole experience felt very personal and authentic – truly a highlight of our trip and highly recommended!
🌅 Thank you so much for your generous and detailed words! We're truly delighted to hear that the sunset cruise was a memorable experience for you. Every detail—from the blankets to the cheese board and Port wine—is carefully considered to ensure everyone feels comfortable and welcomed. It's a great joy to be able to share the beauty of the Douro and Porto with such special people. We sincerely thank you for joining us and hope to welcome you back in the near future for more unforgettable moments!Nadia e Paulo
It was amazing! The staff was very friendly and welcoming. They feel comfortable saying the boat is like ours. The ride was perfect and the boat very comfortable! I recommend 100%!!!
Merci beaucoup pour cet avis si enthousiaste ! Nous sommes ravis que vous vous soyez senti bien accueilli et à l'aise à bord. Ce fut un plaisir de partager cette excursion avec vous et de savoir que tout s'est parfaitement déroulé. Nous espérons vous revoir bientôt ! 💛 Nadia & Paulo
Really lovely personal experience gently along The Douro with lots of shade on the boat with Nadia and Paulo's kind attention and warm welcome. Recommend.
