Travel Tidbits - Portugal: Delicious Delights

 Portugal still always feels like a bit of a secret...some of its recipes remain fiercely guarded and it's home to Port wine as well as a beautiful spectrum of so many other beautiful blends. Plus, Portugal does not have the heavy crowds of so many of its neighbors, it's one of Europe's last great values and simply put, it's a delicious trip back in time. Inside Tours is a gorgeous curator of all things decadent and here are some ideas to consider in the Douro Valley and beyond....

  • Sip & Savor tasting experience paired with homemade regional specialties at Portugal's oldest winery
  • Luxury picnic along the Douro River after a smooth sail on a vintage boat including a fine selection of port wines and an intensely flavorful charcuterie board
  • Participate in the harvest process at a family owned winery and indulge in tastings ultra exclusive private blends in their personal cellar
  • Indulge in a massage in a private cabana set right in the middle of the vineyard
  • Travel onboard the Presidential Train for a stunning scenic journey and gourmet meal prepared by a celebrated chef paired with wines expertly selected by a top sommelier
  • Spend a full day with an oenologist for top level wine education
  • Prepare a 4 course meal with a local home-based chef right in their kitchen before indulging in the meal and enjoying a private fado performance
  • Go behind the scenes at one of Lisbon's top bakeries and meet with the master creators of the iconic sweet treats (Pasteis de nata)
