Overview

The Upper Douro wine area is one of the locations that UNESCO considers to be World Heritage because of its distinctive and beautiful terrain.

There are many reasons for us to visit this gorgeous area, but the main one is our desire to see the place where renowned wines are made. On the terraces of the Douro Valleys, this nectar, which was given the name Port Wine in honor of the 17th century, thrives and ripens here.

The Douro, the first wine area in the world to be clearly defined and subject to regulations, is separated into Baixo Corgo, Cima Corgo, and Upper Douro, each of which has a distinctive environment and climate.

The Douro River Course can be followed if you want to take in the stunning landscape. You have the chance to participate in the grape harvest and the labor at the "Lagares" (Mills) at the many farms in the area during the harvest season.

What To Expect

Amarante

Two impressive natural features will undoubtedly leave an impression on all visitors to Amarante: the great Serra do Marão rising above the city in a series of majestic landscapes, and the river Tâmega, the longest tributary of the Douro, whose journey begins in Galicia and which flows through the center of Amarante, adding additional color to the picturesque houses seated on its banks. We cannot simply pass through this beautiful land without making a small stop, stretch our legs, taste one of the most daring delicacies enjoying the crystal clear river and its bridge which links the two banks in the same location as the crude bridge built by S.Gonçalo to permit the passage of pilgrims, who wanted to reach the bridge as well as the Convent, all of them dating back to the 18th century.
