Douro Valley
The world's oldest demarcated wine region and a UNESCO cultural landscape, the Douro is a breathtaking sweep of terraced vineyards carved into steep hillsides above the river.
Visit family quintas for port and table-wine tastings, cruise the river, or ride the historic Douro railway line that hugs the water all the way upstream.
