Scenic has been visiting the village of Provesende, a treasure perched high in the Douro Valley, for many years. So special is this village, we have made it a Scenic Enrich experience on our Unforgettable Douro river cruise for 2021. Take a walking tour to the local church for a short piano recital, bake traditional bôla at the bakery and explore the historic manor house. Meet local families and enjoy a home-hosted lunch and port - it's some of Portugal's best.
