Alto Douro Wine Region
Alto Douro Wine Region, Wine-producing region in northeastern Portugal.
The Alto Douro Wine Region extends through terraced vineyards along steep hillsides of the Douro River across Vila Real, Bragança, Viseu, and Guarda districts.
Established in 1756, the Alto Douro became the first regulated wine region in the world when the Companhia Geral da Agricultura das Vinhas do Alto Douro defined its boundaries.
Numerous festivals celebrate the grape harvest season in September and October, involving local communities in traditional wine production activities across multiple villages.
The region offers train connections from Porto to Régua and Barca de Alva, while boat trips along the Douro River provide access to various wine estates.
The combination of hot summers, cold winters, and mountainous terrain creates specific conditions for growing grapes like Touriga Nacional and Tinta Roriz.
