In Search of Port Wine: Douro Valley

[Trip Moment Delivery 🗞️] On this trip, I visited the gem of Porto, the Douro Valley! 🍷🚞⛰️ 🛄 | Douro Valley Travel Experience I took a morning train from São Bento Station in Porto, and after about two and a half hours, the view outside the window gradually transformed from urban landscapes to green hills and vineyards. At that moment, I couldn't help but marvel, "This must be the birthplace of Port wine." The Douro Valley, located about 100 km east of Porto, is one of the oldest wine-growing regions in the world. Endless terraced vineyards stretch across the gentle hills, with the silver shimmer of the Douro River flowing in between. 🍇 The Home of Wine This region is the heart of Port wine production, with hundreds of wineries (Quintas) lining the riverbanks. At a small winery perched on a hill, I had the chance to tour the vineyards and taste the wine. Walking up the old stone paths, the view of the vineyards across the river unfolded like a painting. The breeze rustled through the deep green grape leaves, and the distant sound of a train added to the serene atmosphere. 🛶 Douro Riverbanks and Vineyard Views Upon arriving at a riverside village, I saw small boats floating on the calm Douro River. In the past, these boats, known as Barcos Rabelos, transported Port wine down the river to the ports. Today, they continue this tradition as tourist cruise boats. Sailing along the river and gazing at the vineyard-covered hills, I felt the unique tranquility and elegance of Portugal. 📌 Location Douro Valley (Vale do Douro) Douro River Basin, Northern Portugal
