Join Ride Across Douro-Minho
Embark on a journey across the Douro River valley and the verdant Minho region. This adventure takes you through the Douro River valley, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the oldest designated wine regions globally, as well as the lush greenery of the Minho region during the annual grape harvest and the splendour of early autumn.
Commencing in Porto, the city famed for giving Port wine its name, you’ll experience a perfect mix of winding and challenging routes paired with stunning scenery.
The route includes iconic climbs frequently featured in the Tour of Portugal, natural parks, a brief venture into Spanish territory, and a picturesque arrival by the ocean in the beautiful town of Viana do Castelo, where an exquisite meal awaits you.
A good night's sleep is crucial for recovery, and these smaller, often luxurious hotels, offer a more personalised experience with meticulous attention to detail and comfort.
Hotel selection is based not only on quality but also on their location, ensuring proximity to the starting and finishing points of each stage, thereby minimising the need for transfers.
