Back by popular demand - Porto Autumn 2025 School Trip: Friday 24th - Sunday 26th October
Note: this product is for the Core Itinerary. If you are also interested in the Fine Dining on Friday evening and the historical walking tour, you can buy the full all-in package.
NYN School trips are one of the best ways to get to know the community, make new friends and taste so much wine you declare a detox (rarely implemented).
Our first vintage is a special one in our hearts and was extremely popular with our trade customers and members alike (the dictator and democratic is fully sold out!). With that in mind, we are excited to return to Porto for our Autumn 2025 school trip.
Vintage 1 was made in collaboration with Soalheiro and the head winemaker and son duo have now left to establish VineVinu, a unique winery, exploring the versatility of Alvarinho and capturing its essence across different terroirs, from the sea to the mountains. This school trip will centre around a visit to their vineyards and winery.
Of course, as with all school trips, this adventure goes beyond a single event and is about exploring the region, its history, culture, food (and a little bit of wine!).
12:30 - 20:00
The main event!
We can’t go to Porto without Port tasting, so we will visit a classic Port house with a special cooperage tour.
This is followed by the main event of a visit to Vine Vinu vineyards and winery. This will include a large meal to complement the full wine tasting, including from the barrels and learning about the experiments and innovative approach from one of our favourite winemakers, and Not Yet Named co-founder, Manuel Cerdeira. Price includes port tasting, transport to and from VineVinu, extensive wine tasting (7+ wines) and a full meal.
We are likely to get a 30-min train from the Port House to a nearby station and then taxi to the winery, and the same on the return.
11:00 - 19:00
We will visit two of Douro valley’s best wineries, as recommended by local wine makers! We will likely start the tour with a special tasting and lunch with the wine making team themselves at Niepoort, followed by a terroir tasting at another winery.
Price includes private transport, 10+ wines and a 3+ course meal from chef Dona Maria da Luz.
Please make your hotel bookings directly; within walking distance of Sao Bento station should be close enough to collection points for the coach.
If anyone would like transport arranged to/from the airport, or any other questions/ideas, please email dee@notyetnamedwineco.com.
