Douro DOC, Protected wine region in northern Portugal
The Douro wine region extends along steep terraced slopes beside the Douro River, with schist and granite soil formations supporting diverse grape varieties.
In 1756, the Portuguese crown established Douro as the first demarcated wine region worldwide, setting regulations for wine production and quality standards.
Local wineries maintain traditional grape growing methods across narrow terraces, integrating ancient techniques with current wine production processes.
Visitors can reach multiple wine estates throughout three subregions: Baixo Corgo, Cima Corgo, and Douro Superior, each offering distinct tasting experiences.
The region cultivates over 80 grape varieties, including Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, and Tinta Roriz, often mixing multiple varieties within single vineyards.
