About Porto
Porto is one of the last undiscovered European metropolises,but is increasing in popularity.
This is an ancient port steeped in history and tradition. It is a highly atmospheric place that has become known for its monuments by renowned architects (Gustave Eiffel's Dona Maria Bridge, Nicolau Nasoni's Clerigos Tower, Rem Koolhaas' Casa da Musica, or Siza Vieira's Serralves Museum),
Backed by the Serra do Marao mountains and overlooking the wide valley of the River Douro, the peaceful town of Peso da Regua is the official centre of the Port wine growing region. From here, barrels of wine were traditionally transported to Vila Nova de Gaia in the past using wooden sailing ships called rabelos. Today, the journey is made by road using specially-adapted tankers.
Regua Activities
Regua is the center for Port wine production. Visit a local inn for wine tasting and a lecture on Port wine.
Relax for an evening at Solar da Rede, a beautifully restored 18th-century "pousada" manor house located high above the river.

Marking the end of the port wine trail, Pinhao is a typical rustic Douro town. Of interest is the railway station, decorated with azulejos, or glazed tile. From here, one can see the dramatic vine-clad terraces, dotted with white quintas where the wine is produced and bottled.
