About This Tour
Sail on a unique river in the heart of the oldest demarcated wine region in the world and also a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Depart from Pinhão, passing under the Eiffel iron bridge, and head towards the Roncão area, where you will turn around to return to Pinhão. Along the way, gaze down the hills of terraced vineyards to the river, without passing through national highways and without encountering any traffic in sight. Although you will follow the same route there and back, the impression will be that you have taken two different paths, since the views provided and the landmarks seen are completely different. Traditional rabelo boats have open and closed areas, so navigation will be completely comfortable in all types of weather, all year round. We ask that you download our audio guide before boarding and bring your own headphones for a smoother experience.
