Final thoughts on Porto and The Douro Valley winery tours

Douro is the oldest demarcated and regulated wine region in the world, declared in 1756 and made a World Heritage by UNESCO in 2001.

I have visited Porto a few times over the past few years and must admit that wine tasting tours in Douro Valley are a must. There is no better way to experience the rich culture and take in the beautiful views than with a glass of quality port wine. Whether you fancy a private tour or a short wine-tasting stop, Porto has it all.

Of course, you can visit some of the best wineries in Douro Valley on your own, but you won’t be able to enjoy the tastings. Personally, I always opt for a tour when in Porto. This way, I get to enjoy the fantastic views, learn about wine making and taste some quality wine.

If you are visiting Porto from Lisbon, the easiest way to explore the Douro region is with a car rental. I always find the best deals with DiscoverCars and can highly recommend them. If you are coming from Peniche and the Berlengas, Sintra, Lagos, or Albufeira, then the A1 and A2 highways are the fastest to travel on.
