One of the most enchanting wine regions in the world
Douro
From Spain to Portugal, the Douro River bathes vines and olive trees, crossing landscapes roasted by the sun. In the Douro region, the slopes were worked for centuries, cultivating the vine in steep hills with traditional terraces, in difficult weather conditions. In addition to enjoying, with closed eyes, the sweet notes of the renowned Port wine, you can take a beautiful boat trip, taste the local delicacies and even try to make the wine the old fashioned way – stepping on the grapes with your feet. For a romantic stay with a breathtaking view, try the Douro Palace Hotel Resort and Spa. You will return home with the energies recharged, good wines and, of course, with lovely photographs.
