In November 2026, you’re invited to join Uncorked & Cultured’s bespoke Portugal wine river cruise curated with culture, connection, and legacy in mind. This isn’t your typical cruise — it’s a Douro River wine cruise designed for travelers who crave more than surface-level sightseeing.

Led by Angela McCrae, founder of Uncorked & Cultured, this intimate, hands-on Portugal wine cruise brings together guests for seven unforgettable nights aboard the luxury AmaSintra. Travel for good, where each reservation benefits the Association of African American Vintners to fundraise for their annual wine entrepreneur grant and expand access to making wine more inclusive.

We will sail the Douro River, gliding, capturing the essence as the ripening scent of grapes fills the air — and you sip wine grown and aged just steps away. Enjoy one of the world’s most beautiful wine lands, steeped with golden hillsides carved with centuries-old vineyards.

Why the Douro Valley?

The Douro isn’t just a river — it’s the heart of Portugal’s wine trade, flowing through the world’s first demarcated wine region. These terraced hills have nourished generations of winemakers and now welcome a new wave of artists, entrepreneurs, and expats adding their voices to this living tradition.

This 2026 wine-tasting cruise through Portugal is your invitation to experience it before the rest of the world catches on — through a lens that centers on culture, community, and joy.
