Location
Enjoy the local area
Golden by name, the sun-kissed valley ‘Douro’ is also golden by nature. The River Douro flows through amber-hued vine-filled terraces, and the region, which boasts three world heritage sites, offers unforgettable experiences in a totally unique natural landscape. The Guest Experience Makers at Six Senses Douro Valley are on call to present you with a host of options. They can arrange a trip to the prehistoric rock art sites in Côa Valley and the Douro International and Alvão parks; visits to some of the oldest wineries in the world; excursions by foot or vehicle to picturesque villages, historic churches and castles; and cruises and water activities on the river.
Located 125 kilometres from Oporto International Airport (OPO), the scenic drive to the resort, along winding roads which pass many examples of the region’s historic architecture, is one of Europe’s most captivating.
Unique experiences on offer:
• Partake in a variety of wine making activities including wine and dine river cruises, interactive oenology courses, visits to nearby wineries where you will meet the winemakers and have the opportunity to be a winemaker for the day.
• Although it only comes once a year, stomping grapes during harvest time in September and October, barefoot in stone lagares (granite stone tanks) is an experience worth waiting for • Take a walking tour with a private guide around the Douro Valley, or speed the pace on an electric bicycle. • Have a look at the Earth Lab, a place where every Six Senses property showcases their sustainability efforts to reduce consumption, produce locally and support communities and ecosystems. The venue was named Earth to celebrate our home and source of all life, and Lab for laboratory, experimentation, innovation and exploration.
• A fun way to practice mindfulness, book your spot at one of the lovely tile-painting workshops, a joyful and unforgettable moment where guests can learn and practice the traditional method to paint Portuguese ceramic tile azulejo and take home this personalised souvenir.
