Tag: Visit the Douro Valley

The Douro Wine Region Valley itself, the world’s oldest demarked wine region, has been carved into the land by the Douro River, creating deep valleys. These are surrounded by mountains made of glittering schist, studded with vivid green vines which turn flaming orange over autumn. The result is a particularly heavenly 373 mile stretch just an hour and a half from Porto, the main gateway to the Douro Region.
