Samodaes to Sabrosa and Pinhao: Private day trip

With a private driver, you will explore Douro’s vineyards and valleys with a first stop in Sabrosa, the birthplace of explorer Ferdinand Magellan. Then, head to Pinhão where you can meander through terraced landscapes and sample local wine for a well-rounded experience in Portuguese history and culture.

Allocate 90 minutes visiting Sabrosa’s quiet lanes and local museum at your own pace. Then, a 25-minute drive leads to Pinhão for two hours discovering terraced landscapes, visiting a vineyard, or admiring the train station’s famous azulejos at your leisure. 

Throughout the trip, your driver provides a comfortable and stress-free experience, managing the logistics between the historic highlands and the riverside heart of the wine region. By coordinating the timing of your visits, your driver ensures you can immerse yourself in the legacy of Magellan and the beauty of the Douro at your own rhythm before a relaxing return.
