Douro

The Douro Valley, Portugal’s historic heart of winemaking, captivates with its dramatic terraced vineyards and celebrated wines. Famous for Port wine and exceptional reds, the region’s steep slopes along the Douro River create a unique terroir influenced by a continental climate. Indigenous grape varieties like Touriga Nacional and Tinta Roriz thrive here, producing wines with bold character and age-worthy complexity. Recognized as the world’s first demarcated wine region, the Douro Valley exemplifies a blend of tradition and modernity.
