Douro

Culture, Tradition and of course…the Wine

The Douro is a land of passion and tradition, with a culture that is organically bound to its history, religion, agriculture and to the simplicity of its people. The museums and the more erudite cultural expressions live side by side with the fairs, pilgrimages and adoration of saints.

Those who live in the Douro region have a culture of their own, a regional culture that has great consideration for the past and Nature. Walking through some of the oldest streets you will have the feel of travelling through time and you go back dozens or hundreds of years witnessing history.

Upon reaching the city of Porto, take some of your time to visit the Port wine cellars, where wine, harvested in the terraced Douro, is being stored for centuries. In the Douro Valley you can also find Port wine and table wine cellars. This Is the right place to taste and buy the old ports.

Wine lovers can find a range of activities around the Douro wines. Learn about the farms that produce the famous Port wine, where you can participate in the harvest or stay during your stay. There are marvelous landscapes and the people will love to show you around.
