Come and discover the complexities of port production in Portugal - and take part in the colourful fun of the harvest of this rich, fortified wine. There's nothing like immersing yourself in a good bottle of port, but take it one step further and really soak up the rich and sugary flavours when you join the workers of the informal association of small, rising star producers known as the 'Douro Boys' and tread the grapes. Both of the Quinta’s that you visit, the Dutch owned Niepoort and the Quinta do Passadouro, are renowned for their tawny and vintage ports. You'll also get to taste several excellent Douro table wines and travel on the train route made famous by Michael Palin, up through the breathtaking Douro vineyards. You'll stay in a three star hotel in the centre of Oporto near the river front, a great place to relax in the evening. This unusual and special weekend will leave your taste buds tantalised and your feet stained red!
