The phrase ‘across the river’ is a common phrase in Porto, particularly among the locals. However, many tourists remain unaware of what lies past the picturesque wine caverns along the riverbanks.

In this trip, we’ll reveal to you an area not usually visited by tourists, rich with traditional food and brimming with local culture. We’ll traverse the intricate, narrow lanes of Gaia, visit Portugal’s oldest winery set up by King Joseph I and the Marquis of Pombal, and explore the typical Porto cuisine like francesinha and local culinary secrets like alheira. Each of these delicacies will be enjoyed with a matching local wine or beer.

As you relish the walk and delicacies, you’ll gain insights into Portuguese and regional history from not just our guide, but also from locals who love engaging in conversations and sharing their experiences. All the while, you’ll be feasting your eyes on the unmatched views of Porto city.

Highlight - During your visit to Portugal’s oldest winery, you’ll get a chance to step into a concealed wine cellar housing centuries-old bottles of maturing port wine.
