Luxury Food and Culture Vacation Adventure Through Four Regions of Portugal

EXPERIENCE OVERVIEW

This luxury trip to Portugal takes you on a journey through four of the country’s most beautiful regions—Lisbon, Porto, Algarve, and the Douro Valley—where you’ll tour historic towns, explore stunning natural landscapes, and experience some of the best food and wine in Europe. It’s perfect for a romantic vacation for two, a fun girls’ getaway, or a relaxing European cultural adventure.

Your vacation begins in the coastal city of Porto, where you’ll be met at the airport and taken to The Yeatman Hotel and Spa. Set on seven acres alongside the Douro River, nestled on a hill overlooking the town, this luxury, 5-star hotel blends classic European style with modern accessibility. You’ll have deluxe accommodations with incredible views, a private furnished balcony, plush bedding, and spa-like bathrooms, as well as access to the resort’s many amenities—large indoor and outdoor pools, full-service spa, restaurants (including the Michelin-starred Yeatman Gastronomic Restaurant), and wine cellars housing a comprehensive collection of fine Portuguese wines.

While here, you’ll enjoy an unforgettable tour of the city with your private guide, visiting historic landmarks and major attractions tailored to your interests. Take in the sights and sounds of this lovely city as you explore the Cathedral of Porto and São Bento Train Station, lunch in the city center, and cruise the Douro River aboard one of the traditional Barco Rabelo wooden boats. 

You’ll also have a full day to explore more of Porto on your own, and end your stay with a special dinner of contemporary Portuguese cuisine prepared by renowned Chef Rui Paula at the architecturally stunning Casa de Chá da Boa Nova, built along the rocks at the edge of the sea.

From Porto, you’ll head to the lush Douro Valley for two nights at the lovely Quinta do Vallado, a small, boutique hotel set within the vineyards of a historic winery. Spend the day touring the valley with your private guide in the comfort of a classic car, driving through a landscape of rolling hills and greenery to visit the historic villages of Provesende and Favaios, explore the Baroque Casa de Mateus, and learn more about the history and culture of the region. 

In the evening, relax in your spacious guest room—complete with Wi-Fi, air conditioning, minibar, and luxury toiletries and linens—or enjoy a glass of wine and light meal on the terrace next to the pool.

The next day, you’ll have the opportunity to prepare a traditional Portuguese dish with the hotel’s chef, enjoy a wine flight tasting, and take part in an immersive wine blending workshop where you’ll learn about the process and technique and create a wine blend of your own. 

The rest of your stay at Quinta do Vallado can be spent strolling the many walking trails winding through the property, going for a swim in the garden pool, or using one of the hotel’s bicycles to ride the paths around the vineyards. 

From the Douro Valley, you’ll travel to Lisbon via private car, enjoying a leisurely drive that includes visits to the charming town of Aveiro (nicknamed “Little Venice” because of its many canals), the famous fishing village and surf town of Nazaré, and the medieval town of Óbidos, set within castle walls. 

Once in Lisbon, you’ll check in at the 5-star Tivoli Avenida Liberdade Lisboa, a landmark hotel located in the heart of the city. You’ll rest easy in your spacious, modern guest room filled with luxury touches, elegant furnishings, and signature bedding, and wake refreshed and ready to see the sights.

While here, you’ll take a full-day tour of the city with a private guide, visiting the Maritime Museum, tasting Portugal’s famous Pastel de Nata, and taking a sunset cruise on the waters just offshore. You’ll also spend a day exploring the nearby town of Sintra, where you will visit the Pena Palace and enjoy a private helicopter tour to see the sights from above. Finally, you’ll have an unscheduled day to get out and enjoy Lisbon at your own pace, followed by an incredible dinner experience that evening with renowned chef, José Avillez, at his chic, two-Michelin-starred Belcanto restaurant—a truly special way to wrap up your time in Portugal’s capital city.

From Lisbon, you’ll head to the last stop on this amazing trip—beautiful Algarve—for a stay at the Vila Vita Parc Resort & Spa. With spacious, sophisticated rooms and luxurious amenities, set within a cliffside property on 54-acres of subtropical gardens, you’ll feel like you’ve stepped into paradise. Stroll the grounds on cobblestone pathways winding between waterways and bright flowers. Relax on sunny terraces overlooking the ocean or lush landscaping. And enjoy a leisurely day at one of the resort’s seven pools or its secluded sandy beach.

On the last night of your stay, you’ll be treated to a special dinner in the resort’s Cave de Vinhos, which boasts the largest private wine collection in Portugal. Surrounded by the original architecture and vaulted ceilings of the wine cellar, located eight-meters underground, you’ll enjoy impeccable service and an incredible chef-prepared meal paired with wines recommended by an experienced sommelier—an idyllic and intimate fine dining conclusion to this fabulous luxury getaway.
