Welcome to Porto—a city of timeless elegance and soulful heritage—where every cobblestone holds centuries of stories. Settle into your 5-star haven before an afternoon stroll through the Ribeira district, where pastel facades kiss the river and culture lives in every corner. Tonight, gather for a riverside welcome dinner, raising a glass to Black brilliance, global joy, and the journey ahead.

Today’s explorations unfold in blue-tiled beauty—from the striking São Bento Station to the ornate Palácio da Bolsa. Cross the Dom Luís I Bridge into Gaia for a tasting at one of Porto’s legendary port cellars, where heritage pours into every glass. End the day on a rooftop terrace, cocktail in hand, as the Douro sparkles beneath you—a toast to excellence lived out loud.

Wind through the hills of the Douro Valley, where terraced vineyards stretch across the horizon in UNESCO-listed splendor. Cruise the river, visit historic quintas, and sip vintages that speak to generations of craftsmanship. Over a gourmet vineyard lunch, celebrate success, sisterhood, brotherhood, and the unapologetic power of being Black, global, and free.

Glide through the canals of Aveiro, where candy-colored boats and Art Nouveau buildings offer charm at every turn. Sample ovos moles, stroll the cobbled streets, and embrace the simple joy of laughter shared in beautiful places. Return to Porto for a soulful send-off: an intimate Fado dinner, where every note carries longing, beauty, and deep cultural pride.

Part ways with Portugal, your heart full and your spirit renewed. As you depart, the melodies of Fado and the warmth of Portuguese hospitality linger—a final bow to a journey steeped in celebration, legacy, and the essence of EBST.
