Douro Valley landscape

Region guide

Douro Valley

The Douro Valley is one of the oldest wine regions in the world and one of Portugal's most dramatic landscapes — steep terraced vineyards cascade down to the Douro river, punctuated by grand quintas producing Port and still wines. It is a UNESCO World Heritage site and one of the most rewarding destinations in the country for slow travel, wine tasting and boutique stays.
