Product Information

This picturesque riverbank region is home to some of the best wines and Port wines you will ever taste. Porto is the starting point for your scenic adventure to the Douro Valley with several transport options available. From cruise boats, trains, buses, car or even by helicopter! No matter which mode of transport you choose, each guarantees an equally impressive and picturesque journey that will amaze you. Getting there by riverboat At the beginning of spring, you’ll find beautiful patches of white and pink from the almond trees throughout the Douro Valley with movement on the vineyards preparing the vines for summer.

Travelling by train will no doubt inhibit your ability to truly explore the region to its full potential. Instead, I recommended renting a car and explore the very best of the Douro Valley at your own pace and leisure. With this tour, you’ll be able to enjoy a wonderful 9 hours tour in landscapes of the Douro Valley. Towards the end of summer, most “quintas” are in harvest and will feature events where you can take part in the winemaking process. Some are still using the traditional way of crushing the grapes by foot. If it’s not already on your travel wish list, then our go-to guide will compel you to experience the beauty and magic of the Douro Valley. Where is the Douro Valley? Most travellers will arrive in Porto and either plan a day trip to the Douro, as this is undoubtedly one of the top things you can do whilst in Porto, or opt to spend a few nights exploring the various towns, cities, and ‘Quintas’ (wine estates) scattered throughout the region.

Stretching over 600 km (373 miles), the Douro Valley is a large historic and cultural region of Portugal, long devoted to vineyards and the production of some of the world’s best wine. How do you get to the Douro Valley?

For those who don’t have much time in Porto, a single day trip will allow you a brief, but enjoyable experience of the Douro Valley. Although, with so many exceptional things to see and do, we recommend staying at least three days to really absorb the rich culture and history of the region.If you’re not already thinking about staying in some of the magnificent “quintas” in the area, there are also several hotels in the Douro Valley. There are several car rental agencies of Portugal available at Porto Airport and also in the center of Porto. We advise booking early for the best rate. Getting there by helicopter

One of the main reasons people travel through the Douro Valley is to obviously visit the “quintas,” which are a vital part of the Douro Valley history as they have produced the world famous Port wine for centuries. If you want to get involved in the action, most of them will offer wine tours in Portugal through their grounds and most importantly: Wine tasting sessions! galgTop 5 “quintas” to visit in the Douro Valley The story of Pygmalion in Virgil’s The Aeneidpresents a conflict between one man’s desire for personal advancement and his duties to the people he loves, and suggests that career interests can be a far more powerful force than moral obligations. Like Pygmalion, the human characters in The Aeneidfrequently sacrifice one another in the quest for glory and wealth. Virgil suggests that self-serving treachery is endemic, for even the gods brutalize their loved ones to shore up their own claims to power and status. Virgil thus uses the story of Pygmalion to highlight the collateral damage that accumulates when characters succumb to the single-minded pursuit of their own grand ambitions. A: We are a small independent team born in the fortunate island of Gran Canaria under the shared excitement of developing video games. Our main goal is to create experiences with a high narrative load which get to pass on our passion towards video games and good stories. Apart from its picturesque villages and vineyards, there is a lot more to explore and uncover in the Douro Valley region. Here are some top attractions of the valley. Parque Natural do Douro Internacional Estrada Nacional 222 or Highway 222 may seem an odd choice to add as an attraction, but this stretch of road that meanders along the 27 kilometres / 17 miles from Regua to Pinhao is a must! Not only is it known for being a hair-raising experience as you motor along the 93 bends, but it also offers some of the most spectacular views of the region and its lush green rolling hills. Admire the AzulejosIn late October, the valley turns golden with the arrival of autumn and it’s absolutely perfect for photography enthusiasts who visit the many stunning viewpoints in the Douro Valley. Pygmalion’s story dramatizes a conflict between material lust and one’s duties to family and friends. Pygmalion could honor his sister, Dido, and Sychaeus on their wedding day, but he recognizes an opportunity for personal advancement in killing Sychaeus and seizing his gold. Pygmalion could then attempt to make amends by confessing to Dido and accepting responsibility for his crime, but he instead dishonors her further (and thus preserves his own wealth) by lying to her about the nature of her husband’s death. Virgil states that Pygmalion is deaf to the basic needs of his sister, blinded by his desire for wealth, and reduced to the status of a monster, barely worthy of the label “human being.” The urge to shore up his material wealth dehumanizes and desensitizes him, and the lust for power triumphs over his fraternal responsibilities (which he does not even seem to recognize in his quest for self-advancement). Alternatively, you could also travel by train from Porto’s main Sao Bento train station, travelling roughly 2 hours to Regua in the Douro Valley. It will take you about an hour and a half by car to reach the majestic Douro Valley from Porto, and it goes without saying you are in for an unforgettable experience once you are here. The landscapes of the Douro Valley are made up of rolling green hills, vineyards, wine estates, and the beautiful Douro River that snakes through the region.
