Luxury Portugal Group Trip 2026: Culture, Coast & Culinary Soul

I don’t plan group trips to destinations I’ve never experienced.
After traveling through Portugal myself — walking its hills, tasting its wines, and connecting with its people — I created this itinerary to reflect the real magic I found there. Every hotel, every guide, every experience was handpicked with intention.

✅ Personally vetted properties — each chosen for its service, style, and sense of place
✅ Curated experiences — rooted in authenticity, not algorithms
✅ Small-group intimacy (max 20)
✅ Exclusive access to trusted local experts
✅ Seamless hosting by BonVoyage Christine

This isn’t a generic package tour. This is the Portugal I know — elegant, soulful, and unforgettable.

October 10–13 — 2 nights

Your Portugal journey begins with two nights of wine-country elegance at one of Porto’s most prestigious hilltop retreats. Perched above the Douro River, this award-winning Relais & Châteaux property offers sweeping views of Porto’s terracotta rooftops and the iconic Luís I Bridge.

Imagine waking up to sunlight over the river, savoring breakfast on your private terrace, and ending the evening with a glass of vintage Port as the city glows below. Every detail — from the wine-inspired spa to Michelin-starred dining — sets the tone for the exquisite week ahead.

• Private Vineyard Experience – spend the day in the Douro Valley among rolling vines, tasting world-class wines and connecting with the region’s storied heritage.
• Scenic River Cruise – glide along the Douro as sunlight dances off the water and centuries-old estates line the hillsides.
• Historic Porto Exploration – stroll through Ribeira’s cobblestone lanes and discover the artistry behind the city’s signature azulejos and architecture.
• Curated Dining Experience – savor an elegant evening of regional flavors and pairings that celebrate the heart of Northern Portuguese cuisine.

VIP Moment: Golden-hour views of the Douro Valley with a glass of vintage Port in hand — the perfect start to an unforgettable journey.

October 13–16 — 3 nights

Your Lisbon chapter unfolds from a boutique luxury hotel set along the city’s grand boulevard, where azulejo tiles meet modern design and rooftop views stretch toward the Tagus River. Each day blends heritage, rhythm, and refinement — the perfect expression of Lisbon’s soul.

• Afro-Portuguese Heritage Tour – a profound journey through identity, art, and legacy that traces the threads of the African diaspora woven through Lisbon’s history.
• Fado Cultural Evening – a night of emotion and melody in an intimate setting, where centuries of longing and resilience are sung into being.
• Sintra + Cascais Day – wander royal palaces shrouded in mist — including Sintra’s fairy-tale castle perched high in the hills — then follow the coastal road to seaside elegance, ocean breezes, and café culture.

VIP Moment: Savor a rooftop cocktail as Lisbon glows beneath you — a toast to heritage, harmony, and the art of slowing down.

October 16–18 — 3 nights

Your final chapter unfolds in Tavira, a coastal gem where cobblestone streets, bell towers, and sunlit plazas tell the story of old-world Portugal. Our stay in a restored palace property offers timeless charm and refined comfort — the perfect setting to unwind and reflect on your journey.

• Private Boat to Benagil Sea Caves – glide along the Algarve’s limestone cliffs and hidden grottos, where sunlight dances across turquoise waters.
• Buggy Adventure – a playful exploration of the Algarve’s countryside and coastline, revealing secret trails and panoramic views.
• Light Coastal Touring – balance of leisure and discovery, with moments to simply breathe in the salt air and golden light.
