Natural beauty, winemaking, and historical significance all come together to create a magical experience in Pinhao and the Douro Valley. A paradise for wine lovers and ecotourists alike
Great video and exactly what we were looking for. Did you walk to all the Quintas or just the first one? How long did that take? Are you able to take a taxi to more than one and how did you get back to the train? We are debating on a tour? (Which I don’t really want to do because of the restrictions and We’d like to visit Portuguese owned Quintas if possible and want to pick our own meal. I really like that before lunch store you visited and plan on adding that in as well.
Also how long did the visit take? Which train did you take back?
@@aliyiapatterson-brooks5646Hello, I'm glad my video provided you with useful info. The first two Quintas (Bomfin and Carvalhas) are very close to each other and right in the heart of Pinhao, no need for a taxi there. Same thing with the small place for a quick lunch, it is a 3 minute walk to Quinta do Bomfim. Quinta das Carvalhas is on the other side of the river, but it only takes you 5 minutes to cross the bridge for Quinta do Bomfim. I wouldn't take a tour, there is really no need for it. The last Quinta (Quinta do Jalotto) is on the top of the hill behind Pinhao. From the train station take a cab, they have a fix rate of 10 Euros to drive you to the top (the point where I flew the drone towards the end of the video). From there, it is a short 4 minute walk to the Quinta do Jalotto. This Quinta is small, but the views from the top make it a wonderful spot to sit down and do some wine tasting. Hope this helps :)
@@aliyiapatterson-brooks5646 I stayed for two nights in an Arbnb in Pinhao. Everything is a short walking distance from every interesting point. Please watch the video again to check the train number. You cannot go wrong, it's a 2-and-a-half-hour trip from Porto (Campanha train Station) and the train runs three or four times a day. Take the early train at 7:20 am (please check video for details) that goes almost empty at that time. If you need any other info, please do not hesitate to ask me. P.S. Quinta do Bomfim just opened an amazing restaurant behind their vineyards , from what I heard it is totally worth a visit for lunch or dinner (I did not eat there because I had to take my train back to Porto). The restaurant is called Casa dos Ecos
@@GoTravelPlanet thank you so much. We decided on the train even though it takes longer to get the you can’t beat the cost or scenery. We considered taking an early train….looking at the hours for tasting now to coordinate the train arrival so we won’t be sitting outside looking lost😂
Quinta das Carvalhas, para onde eu fui no ano 65, com 11 anos de idade, acabado a instrução primária,, larguei as saias de minha mãe, para ir trabalhar nessa quinta. Hoje recordo com grande mágoa, os sacrifícios vividos naquela época. Tempos diferentes...
Incrível história, imagino os sacrifícios dê esos tempos. Brigado pelo “input”

We enjoyed Portugal. It has a rich history. It's geographical location makes it unique for commerce, organic food and fishing. I share the sentiments of the entire group. ONE LO VE.
@@MP-iq9og Excellent, nothing beats the feeling of having had a true positive experience abroad. Cheers!

Thank you very much, that is in fact the whole point of this video. It's an amazing trip, so easy and low cost. Amazing. Thank you for watching :)
Un paseo en tren con vistas increíbles, las plantaciones de vid son una postal que invitan a conocer una zona preciosa y no tan lejos de la ciudad,, gracias por invitarnos a éste viaje
Muchas gracias por tu comentario, me alegro hayas disfrutado
Muy, muy buen video. En todo sentido. La produccion esta en nivel pro, definitivamente! Te felicito!
Gracias, ya se vienen otros mas!
Espectacular ❤
Thanks!
Very nice video
Thank you very much. Cheers !
Thank you for the reply. The final place that you show, can you get a full lunch there? the view maybe looks nicest from high up.
I don’t think you can get a full lunch, they offer wine tastings with cheese and meat cuts but not a full menu
For a top lunch with a fantastic view try restaurant “Casa dos Ecos”
@@GoTravelPlanet Thank you. I wasn't clear whether these wineries had actual restaurants or just wine tasings and some appetizers.
Nice video, thank you. How much time do you have in the wine town before you have to return to Porto? We will go just for the afternoon and want to be sure we do not miss the last train of the day back to Porto. Do all of the places you showed serve a full lunch menu, or are some just tapas?
If you catch the early train from Porto to get there you’ll have enough time to go to the two main wine estates (Bomfim and Quinta das Carvalhas) and then catch the train back to Porto at around 6 pm. You will also have time for a relaxing lunch and a nice walk around town. Have a great trip!
Am glad to chance upon your great video while researching for my April trip to Porto. May I know which tour tour you selected while at Das Cavvalhas? Is it Vineyard guided tour or Royal Bus Sightseeing tour or something else? Many thanks.
Just their own little bus tour to the top of the hills (vineyards) it took about an hour and it was very affordable with Porto wine tasting included. I cannot remember exactly how much I paid for it but I believe it was just under 20 Euros. Totally worth it
Thanks for your response. I got it know.
Beautiful video. Thanks for sharing such a gorgeous area of Portugal.
Question, after your train ride to Pinhao, how di you get around? Do the winery have specific schedules?
Thank you. Pinhao is tiny, everything is 5 minutes away. As for the wineries, they do have schedule’s but it’s like every hour or so.
Question for you! If we were just doing a day trip to Pinhao, how many wineries would you recommend? My mom/sister are not HUGE alcohol drinkers...which wineries would you recommend for the most scenic and fun experiences? Thanks!!
The first two wine estates you see on the video. Quinta do Bomfim and Quinta das Carvalhas. They are 5 minutes away from each other and in Pinhão. You don’t need a car or taxi, everything is walking distance. Those two are excellent, very affordable and fun to visit. Hope this helps!
@@GoTravelPlanet thank you! Loved the video and was leaning towards those two as well!!
Excellent, enjoy your trip! And if it comes to only one you decide to visit, make sure it is Quinta das Carvalhas@@keithcheng6219
Will Do! @@GoTravelPlanet
Lovely video at a relaxing pace. You were blessed with excellent weather! Once reaching Pinhão by train, is it easy to reach the tasting rooms? Can one walk or are there shuttles or taxis?
Thank you, glad to read you enjoyed it. You can easily walk from one tasting room to the next one. Have fun!!
Excellent video.
How to transport in phinao between quintas?
Hey Norman, glad you liked it. Between the first two Quintas in this video you can easily walk from one to the next, takes about 5 minutes. For the last one, you take a taxi from the train station and for 10 Euros they'll drop you off at the top of the hill and then it's a five-minute walk. It is very easy to move around.
@@GoTravelPlanet Thank you so much for your recommendation, beautiful Quinta's
They are indeed, enjoy your trip if you're planning plan :)@@normangonzalez1226
I m planning to visit here on Sunday alone so please tell which train i have to take from porto and what time so i can catch the train and what time is best to come back to porto
Thanks a very beautiful video ❤
It actually says the train, the time and all details on the video itself. Enjoy your time, it’s a beautiful area
@@GoTravelPlanetnowdays its snow there ? Is it good to go nowdays?
@@MiksUnscripted no snow yet, In fact it’s is very warm (which is not normal for this time of the year) . Check the weather forecast before going but so far weather is like spring
Thank you for the information. ONe other question..what is the average price that the wineries charge for a tour? We will also take the 730 a.m. train from Porto. For the boat tour, is it close to the train station and can you just buy the ticket when you get there, or should you reserve in advance. Is there a website?
The wineries will charge you according to the tasting you chose, depends on the quality of the port wines. Tastings go between $15 and $60 p/person. I did the $15 tour and tasting at Quinta das Carvalhas and it was super. Then I paid $30 for the one in Qunita do Bomfim and it was great as well. Don't miss Quinta das Carvalhas, it is amazing. As for the boat tour, yes everything is very close in Pinhao, 5 minutes away, but for the boat tour it is best to buy online, try to book on the first boats leaving at 10 a.m. and the one hour tour is enough. The two hour might be a bit too long
@@GoTravelPlanet Thank you so much for the information and beautiful video.
@@Broadwaybuff-pi1qg thank you for watching, enjoy your trip!
@gotravelplanet did you make reservations for the quintas you visited? Or do they allow walk-ins? And if reservations need to be m 9:29 ade, where do you do so?
Thx mark
I did for one only, unless you go on high Season (July-August) I do not believe it is necessary. Nevertheless, sometimes you get better prices booking ahead of time, you’ll find links to all wine tastings and Quintas on Trip Advisor. Cheers! Enjoy it, it’s the best one or two day-trip!
@@GoTravelPlanet - Thank you, it is late now anyway. I'm going tomorrow and will try my luck!
Enjoy!!@@mdevisser
Really nice video and useful information! Can you please share the boat tour information? I will visit Pinhaoin March,2024.😀
I can’t remember exactly which boat company I used, there’s like 4 or 5 companies and they all do very similar tours. Choose one that offers a one hour tour, two hours might be a bit too long, I’d rather spend that hour at a wine estate, it’s up to you. Thank you for watching! A lot more coming very soon, stay tuned
@@GoTravelPlanet thank you for reply! Really like your tour video!
My pleasure@@millychuang7222
How do you travel from one quinta to another once in Pinhao?
The two main ones are just a 5 minute walk from each other. For the last one on the video I took a cab for $10
@@GoTravelPlanet Thank you so much!
my condolenc pls any info of the wine teasting?
Thank you very much. About the port wine tastings, like it shows in the video, go to Quinta do Bomfim and Quinta das Carvalhas, you cannot go wrong.
May your mother rest in peace.
Thanks
12月我將造訪❤
