The Douro Valley is one of the most beautiful Regions in all over the world, on the top of a slope you´ll be delighted to see kilometers of terraces everything presented in a perfect symmetry.
Demarcated in 1756 is the oldest Wine Region predating the emblematic Wine Regions in France.
First days of September is an outstanding time to visit the estates and hear the pickers singing during the harvest, or in the late afternoon in the lagares (portuguese meaning for large stone tanks) for the foot treading.
A romantic way of travelling is using a 1924 steam train that goes from Régua to Pinhão and Tua and does the way back. It is a pleasant tryp of 90 minutes with traditional portuguese music and of course a glass of Port.
Once in the train station of Pinhão, take a good look at the tiles with amazing ancient memories of the Douro Valley.
If you´re at Régua, eight kilometers distance and there is Quinta dos Avidagos where we have our Winery, located at Alvações do Corgo.
