The Douro Valley Cycling Tour is an unforgettable journey through one of Europe’s most enchanting wine regions. Starting and finishing in the vibrant city of Porto, this eight-day adventure follows the meandering path of the Douro River as it carves its way through steep terraced vineyards, historic quintas, and timeless villages.
Over the course of the week, you’ll ride from the riverfront charms of Porto deep into the heart of the valley, reaching the hilltop town of Alijó—an area famed for its Port wine estates and dramatic landscapes. Expect quiet roads, rolling climbs, and panoramic viewpoints that showcase the Douro at its most magical. Each day reveals a new blend of natural beauty and cultural richness, from sun-drenched vineyards to peaceful river bends and centuries-old winemaking traditions.
Whether you bring your own bike or rent one of ours, our team ensures a seamless and fully supported experience from start to finish. More than just a cycling trip, the Douro Valley Tour is a journey into the soul of Portugal—one of rolling adventure, cultural discovery, and the pure pleasure of riding through a landscape shaped by centuries of passion and craftsmanship.
