Did you know that grapes are harvested in the Douro valley between September and October? The region is full of tourists who want to see the grape picking and participate in the cutting and treading of the grapes to the rhythm of traditional songs.

The harvest time is the fruit of a year's work.

With this experience, you will be able to expand your knowledge about the wine-making process, by discovering the rich history, techniques, and cultural significance, through interactive exhibits and informative displays.

After visiting the museum, it's time to make your contribution to wine-making! Take a basket of grapes to the grape press and prepare for an unforgettable experience of grape treading. Deposit your grapes into the wine press and dress up in traditional attire. As you stomp on the grapes, you'll be immersed in a centuries-old tradition, accompanied by traditional music. The atmosphere is filled with fun and energy as you participate in this symbolic ritual.

To complete your wine journey, indulge in a tasting session at Fonseca Wine Cellars, where you'll have the opportunity to savor two carefully selected Port wines. Experience the harmonious blend of flavors, aromas, and textures that make Port wines truly exceptional.
