The picturesque Douro Valley is named for the Douro River meandering between steep hills in northern Portugal. It is, perhaps, Portugal’s most famous wine producing region, not only for the beauty and romance of the geography and nature, but also for the deep red wines produced there, including the world-renowned Porto fortified wines. These characteristics are in large part why UNESCO has identified the Douro Valley as a World Heritage Site as an outstanding example of a traditional European wine producing region.

Venturing into the Douro Valley is a very special experience. Visit wineries, tour the vineyards and take part in premium wine tastings. Take a private cruise on a vintage boat.
