Welcome!

Food & Wine Trails is excited to partner with Calcareous Vineyard, celebrating 25 years of winemaking in beautiful Paso Robles, Ca.  Producing world-class Rhône and Bordeaux wines has been their personal and professional passion, passed down from father to current owner (and daughter) Dana Brown.

You’re invited to join Dana and her team following the Douro River through Portugal and into Spain, cruising for 8 days past steeply terraced hillsides, quaint villages and acres of ripe vineyards. Enjoy private tastings of Port and explore Porto’s historic Ribeira district, home to iconic rabelo boats, cutting-edge cuisine and a thriving art scene. Wind your way through the dramatic landscapes of the UNESCO-designated Douro Valley, heading ashore to visit charming quintas and meet the winemakers who operate them. See the famous University of Salamanca, Spain, and visit the mountaintop village of Castelo Rodrigo.

There’s no better way to discover Europe’s best-kept secret than this scenic and all-inclusive river cruise, while sipping tasting wines from Calcareous Vineyard during private hosted winery events.
