Get to know
the Douro
Established in 1756, the Douro is the oldest regulated wine region in the world, a land of terraced vineyards and a unique heritage. Starting from Casa do Ferrão, each route reveals a piece of this richness: the Pinhão train station, the Mateus Palace in Vila Real, the cathedrals of Lamego and Vila Real, the Monastery of São João de Tarouca, the Castle of Lamego and the Sanctuary of Nossa Senhora dos Remédios. The Ucanha Tower, the Douro Museum, and the Côa Museum complete an unforgettable itinerary.

outings
and leisure
Exploring the Douro Valley is like immersing yourself in a unique landscape, where each excursion reveals a new perspective of the region. Boat trips along the river are one of the most memorable moments: they allow you to contemplate up close the slopes covered in vines and the carefully shaped terraces along the way. Train journeys are another delightful way to appreciate the wine-growing landscape. The CP Historic Train, steam locomotive 0186, built in 1925, allows you to travel between Régua and Tua Station, on a unique journey into the past.
GASTRONOMY
AND WINE TOURISM
The Douro region is an invitation to discover authentic flavors. The rich gastronomy is expressed in local products, such as aromatic olive oils and artisanal cheeses, and in traditional dishes that have been passed down through generations: cod à Gomes de Sá, cured meats, veal steak, or roast kid goat. But no journey is complete without wine tourism: here you can visit centuries-old farms, taste excellent wines, enjoy paired meals and, in due season, participate in the harvest. An experience that combines tradition, flavor, and culture in a unique setting.
