What to expect

  1. 30m
    As we approach the valley from the south, we stop at a strategic viewpoint between Lamego and Régua. Here, you will witness your first breathtaking vista of the Douro River winding through the mountains. It is a perfect moment to capture the scale of this UNESCO World Heritage landscape before we head down to the riverbanks.
  2. Peso Da Regua
    Pass by
    Known as the international headquarters of the Douro, Régua is where the history of the Port wine trade truly comes to life. Surrounded by majestic terraced vineyards, this vibrant town serves as our gateway to the heart of the valley. From here, we begin our descent into the most scenic landscapes of Northern Portugal.
  3. 30m
    Experience a stretch of road frequently voted the "Most Beautiful Drive in the World." This scenic route between Régua and Pinhão hugs the Douro River, offering front-row views of the famous "schist steps"—the man-made terraces that have defined this region for centuries. We take our time so you can soak in the world-class scenery.
  4. Pinhao

    Our journey culminates in the charming village of Pinhão, nestled deep within the Douro canyons. This is the authentic soul of the region. Here, we enjoy a premium wine tasting at a renowned estate, sampling exquisite Port and Douro DOC wines.
