Douro Valley in a Day Tour with Wine Experience

Set out on a full-day discovery of the scenic Douro Valley. The Douro Valley could easily be called the enchanted valley, given the beauty and magic that its landscapes offer. The Douro Wine Region Valley is the oldest demarcated wine region in the world. First, the river carved the deep valleys out of the land and then Man transformed the schist mountains into soil and walls and planted the vines, green in summer, flame-coloured in autumn. With knowledge handed down from generation to generation, he inclined the terraces to expose the vines to the rays of the sun which give the grapes the warmth that the wine craves. It was from the fruits of the land and Man’s labour that this unique wine and landscape were made. These wine estates are in the Peso da Régua and Pinhão area, two towns that are not far apart and are easy to get to, only separated by the road that in 2015 was declared to be the best road for driving in the world, the EN 222. Driving along a road that follows the banks of the River Douro is something unique and exclusive! Visiting the Douro is synonymous with visiting its loveliest vineyards and estates! For this, we have drawn up a choice of the most stunning estates to visit: looking at their vineyards, tasting their wines, and even having lunch there and learning more about them.
