Looking for recommendations for a Post Camino Tour (just a couple days). I've already walked to Fisterra and don't wish to repeat that. I'm considering making my way (bus/train) to some lovely wine regions in Portugal - possibly a even a papered wine tour.

Can anyone make a suggestion on where to go and how best to get there.

I'd then depart from OPO or Lisbon. OPO is difficult since flights seem to be quite awkward getting home. Lisbon is much easier for flights...or I could make my way back to Madrid.

I'm really just looking for options to consider for 2-4 days of holiday after walking from SJPdP.
 
The focus is on reducing the risk of failure through being well prepared. 2nd ed.

What's a "papered" wine tour?
 
The 9th edition the Lightfoot Guide will let you complete the journey your way.
If you fly out/back from Porto you could just explore that city a few days, including a tour to the port wine cellars ;-) Buen Camino, SY
 
If you're flying home from Lisboa, Sintra is very nice, with lots of lovely places to visit. And Lisbon itself is of quite wonderful - I'm fortunate enough to go there several times a year for work.
 
Get a spanish phone number with Airalo. eSim, so no physical SIM card. Easy to use app to add more funds if needed.

Hi
You can take the train at the station of Porto and go to Pocinho station, almost always along the Douro river.
The most beautiful region of the vineyards (to me) is situated between Peso da Regua and Pocinho.
Train schedules (Porto to Pocinho):

Thanks all.

FYI: A "papered wine tour" is a spell-check version of a "pampered wine tour" as suggested! :)
Last Camino I treated my wife to 2 nights at the Parador-Santiago as a gift for walking Spain for our anniversary.
I thought something like Portugal would be nice this year.

3rd Edition. More content, training & pack guides avoid common mistakes, bed bugs etc
Hi: Porto is definitely worth a few days. Very beautiful city, and lots of chances to take wine tours and port tasting tours. Just my opinion, but I think Porto is more interesting than Lisbon.
