Who's for a glass of Port?

The 3rd International Wine Tourism Conference and Workshop will be held in the Hotel Palácio do Freixo – Pousada do Porto. ( not a brilliant web site but we can assure you that your jaw will drop when you walk through the main entrance)

There are some 70 rooms available in the Conference Venue Hotel so delegates wishing to stay in  this beautiful Palace situated on the banks of the River Douro are advised to make an early booking.

For the “Leave it to the last minute crowd”,  there are discounted rates available in following three  enchanting hotels in Porto:

Hotel Infante de Sagres

Hotel Pestana Porto

Hotel do Teatro

Whether you are an early bird or a member of the last minute gang you must be registered as a Conference delegate and/or a Workshop participant otherwise you will not be able to make a reservation with favourable rates at any of the above hotels. To view further information on Hotel options and room rates please open the pdf doc: Accommodation Options in Porto. Hotel reservations must be made through DOC – DMC Services, Events & Wine, Lda or by completing the secure Hotel Reservation Form.

Getting to the Hotel Pálacio do Feixo from Porto Airport

The airport is quite a hike from central Porto and the Palacio do Freixo so even if you do get a bus or metro into Porto from the airport you are going to need to get a taxi at some stage so we would recommend getting one from the airport to the hotel to avoid the “faffing around” A taxi will cost around 25 Euros. Alternatively, we can arrange for a private driver to meet you off the plane, train or bus. For a private driver please contact DOC-DMC for a quote.

For further information on transfer options from the Porto Airport please have a look at Porto Airport – Getting there. Just read it backwards to make it Getting From There :)

Don’t worry! Any doubts or questions just contact Susanna and the gang at DOC – DMC – they’ll get you on the right track!

Car Parking

Car parking at the Hotel Pálacio do Freixo is hassle free and free of charge. Just park anywhere in the huge car park around the hotel.
