Join us for a retreat in Portugal, designed for women seeking a balance of exploration, connection, and inspiration. Beginning with two nights in the vibrant city of Porto, this retreat invites you to immerse yourself in art, architecture, and the timeless charm of Portugal’s riverside soul before journeying into the heart of the country’s most iconic wine region.

Our time in the Douro Valley unfolds among winding rivers, terraced vineyards, and historic quintas. This exclusive getaway blends scenic beauty with meaningful experiences—winery visits, a jeep excursion through the vines, river cruises, and optional hiking—creating space to slow down, reconnect, and savor the rhythm of life in Portugal’s wine country. It is the perfect setting to restore, indulge, and build genuine connections with women who value travel, presence, and shared discovery.

Arrive in Porto and settle into our carefully selected hotel in the heart of the city - Casa da Companhia. As the sun begins to set, we’ll enjoy a private river cruise along the Douro, offering a beautiful introduction to the city’s iconic bridges and skyline.

In the evening, we come together for a welcome dinner in the Ribeira District, Porto’s lively historic quarter, setting the tone for the week ahead with great food, wine, and connection.

This morning we explore Porto on a guided walking and market tour, taking in key landmarks such as the train station, the historic Clergios Church, riverside neighborhoods, and the Bilhao Market. Along the way, we’ll enjoy a casual tasting-style lunch at two local stops, featuring beloved Portuguese classics like croquettes and bifanas. The afternoon is free for shopping, café hopping, gallery visits, or simply wandering at your own pace.

In the evening, we gather for dinner at one of Porto’s iconic Port Houses, celebrating the city’s deep connection to wine and river life.

After breakfast, we depart Porto and travel inland toward the Douro Valley, with a scenic stop along the way—either in Vila Real for a Michelin-rated lunch or at a local winery to explore Vinho Verde, Portugal’s fresh and vibrant northern wine style.

Upon arrival at our Douro Valley hotel, there’s time to settle and take in the sweeping vineyard views. The evening concludes with a relaxed group dinner, surrounded by the quiet beauty of wine country.

The day begins with a morning hike, offering an immersive way to experience the Douro’s terraced vineyards and natural landscapes. After breakfast, we enjoy a property tour and wine tasting, followed by a leisurely picnic lunch highlighting regional flavors.

As the light softens, we head out for a sunset river cruise, complete with time for photoshoot against the Douro’s iconic golden hillsides. We return for another shared group dinner at the property.

This morning is intentionally flexible—guests may enjoy free time at the property and ease into the day at their own pace.
Later, we set out on a guided jeep tour through the vineyards, offering elevated viewpoints and insight into the region’s winemaking traditions. Lunch is enjoyed at a local spot.
The afternoon is free to relax at the quinta. We reconvene in the evening for a group dinner and relaxed conversation.

After breakfast, the morning is yours—choose between free time, an optional guided hike, or another gentle way to enjoy the valley.
Midday, we visit Quinta do Crasto for a winery tour and lunch, offering a deeper look at one of the Douro’s most respected estates.
The afternoon shifts into celebration perhaps with dance party, followed by a farewell dinner—a joyful close to a week of shared experiences, laughter, and connection.

Following breakfast, we transfer back to Porto for onward flights home, carrying with us the memories of river sunsets, vineyard paths, and the friendships formed along the way.
