The Land of Port

Although the Douro Valley has been a respected and valued winemaking location for almost two thousand years, only since the 17th century, this region has been known as the home of port wine; the sweet, fortified drink.

A fascinating sight to witness and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Douro Valley wine region also boasts a vast array of wines produced in wineries dotted along with the scenery, framed by a bright blue sky.

Picturesque and charming villages with authentic local food and culture, make for excellent rest stops on long trips through the hills, where accommodation is available in some of the wineries themselves!

Although the wine is the main attraction, the scenic hills also provide for plenty of other activities, such as hiking and cycling trips, kayaking or taking part in fruit harvests in the autumn, But if you just want to stare and be mesmerized by nature, surrounded by vinyards, you can just take a train (Linha do Douro) or a Rebelo boat (typical boats that are used to transport Wine barrels) and enjoy one of the most beautiful scenic routes in Europe.

What to visit

Pinhão – The prettiest town of Douro Valley, sitting on the banks of the river and surrounded by terraced vineyards. Pinhão is the best location for a short (1 – 2 hour) boat cruise.

Linha do Douro – The scenic railway that connects Porto to Pocinho and follows the river between Mosteiro and Pocinho

Miradouro de São Leonardo de Galafura – A spectacular viewpoint overlooking the entire Alto Corgo region.

Lake Tua – Pristine natural scenery and deserted hiking routes around one of the quietest areas of the Douro region.
