The region of Alto Douro was the stage for the 8th edition of the She’s Mercedes Off Road Experience, the off-road tour organized by Mercedes in collaboration with Clube Escape Livre, dedicated to women who drive Mercedes-Benz SUVs equipped with the 4Matic system.
During three days, from May 17th to 19th, the initiative brought together 88 brand enthusiasts in an exclusive experience to discover the Douro region, exploring the terraced vineyards by car and boat. The biggest novelty of this year’s Mercedes event was a boat trip between Pinhão and Pocinho, followed by a train journey back to Pinhão.
“The eighth edition of She’s Mercedes, another successful year for this event that featured 88 women who challenged themselves on the off-road paths of the Douro wine region, a region with fantastic landscapes and excellent cuisine. All of this behind the wheel of Mercedes-Benz cars equipped with 4Matic technology, perfect for off-road paths. Of the eight SUV models present at the event, one of them was fully electric, once again showing that electric Mercedes-Benz vehicles can also handle off-road terrain and their performance does not disappoint,” emphasized Holger Marquardt, CEO of Mercedes-Benz Portugal.
