The Douro River rises in Spain’s Picos de Urbión and flows westward into the Atlantic Ocean at Porto, Portugal. Along its journey, it has sculpted the spectacular Douro Valley—a UNESCO World Heritage site. Terraced vineyards and charming traditional estates, known as quintas, blanket the steep slopes, creating an enchanting landscape in one of Europe’s most unspoiled regions. This valley is also home to the world’s oldest demarcated wine region, the birthplace of the renowned Port wine.

Régua, known as the capital of Douro wine, is an essential destination for those wishing to explore the Douro Valley, a UNESCO World Heritage site. The town is set in an impressive natural amphitheater formed by steep slate slopes with terraced vineyards carved into the rock, making it the ideal starting point to discover the oldest demarcated wine region in the world, regulated since 1756.
