The Uncorked
Portugal's wine country, without the rush.
Uncorked is an all-inclusive journey built to show the best of Portugal's wine, food and culture — from the terraced quintas of the Douro Valley to the granite streets of Amarante and the cellars of Porto. Private tastings, quinta lunches and behind-the-scenes access reveal a side of Portuguese winemaking most visitors never see.
Beyond the vineyards, the journey opens onto the vibrant charm of Porto itself — its markets, bridges and riverside restaurants — before closing with a farewell dinner over the Atlantic.
Our journey has just begun.
Day by day
The Uncorked Itinerary
A curated preview. This programme is the experience Deltatur, Mandi Robertson and Devin Parr are building for Uncorked 2027 — details may evolve as the trip is finalised.
Arrival in Portugal
A private driver meets you at Porto Airport for the scenic drive north, as the city gives way to rolling terraced vineyards and the slow curve of the Douro River. After check-in, the rest of the day is yours — unwind by the pool or simply take in the view before dinner at the hotel's restaurant, overlooking the valley.
- Private pick-up at the airport
- Scenic transfer into the Douro Valley
- Check-in and access to the hotel's facilities
- Welcome dinner at the hotel restaurant
River, Wine & Sunset
A private boat glides along the Douro for two to three hours, with a sommelier-led tasting and regional tapas served on board. In the early evening, head to a traditional quinta deep in the vineyards for dinner as the sunset bathes the terraces — the true essence of the Douro, poured slowly.
- Private Douro river cruise (2–3 hours) with wine tasting aboard
- Return to the hotel to relax and enjoy its amenities
- Dinner at a quinta in the heart of the vineyards, with sunset and live music
Estates, Lunch & Sunset Picnic
A guided tour and tasting at a traditional Douro estate opens the day, followed by lunch at the quinta among the vines. After a free afternoon back at the hotel, the day closes at HO Wines, where a picnic among the vineyards makes for an unforgettable golden hour.

Amarante & Vinho Verde
Leaving the Douro, the road drops into Amarante — a walking tour past the São Gonçalo bridge and church, with a taste of the town's famous pastries. Lunch follows in the gardens of Quinta da Aveleda, one of Vinho Verde's most storied estates, then a choice of a wine blending workshop or a traditional bread-making class before continuing on to Porto.

A Free Day, A Farewell Dinner

In the evening, the group gathers for a farewell dinner at a seaside restaurant, the Atlantic as backdrop, to raise one last glass to Portugal.
