Douro Valley Trips & Tours

Ancient terraced vineyards cascade down hillsides in this port-soaked paradise of northern Portugal.
Picture yourself winding along serpentine roads, where stepped vineyards tumble down impossibly steep hillsides to the languid river below. This UNESCO-listed wine region has been crafting liquid gold since Roman times, with weathered stone quintas (wine estates) dotting the landscape like medieval sentinels. Port wine might be the headline act, but the real magic lies in dawdling through drowsy villages, hopping aboard vintage trains that hug the riverbank, and settling into long, lazy lunches at centuries-old estates. The morning mist that clings to the valleys slowly burns away to reveal a landscape that feels deliciously unchanged by time.
