Twenty two kilometres upstream of Peso da Regua is Pinhao, the current port wine capital. The town lies at the base of hillsides covered in vines where the Douro and Pinhao rivers meet.
Pinhao is dominated by the various port wine lodges and once again there are a variety of quintas from which you can taste the local wines. Even the train station has an azulejos display illustrating the wine harvest.
Pinhao is a good base from which to explore the Douro wine region and the Tourist Information office in the town can provide information on trips, tours and tastings. One of Portugal's most beautiful narrow gauge railway journeys, the Linha da Tua, runs from near Pinhao at Tua. The journey travels up through the Tua Valley, ending at the pretty market town of Mirandela and takes two hours.
Cruises along the River Douro of either one or two day trips leave or stop off at both Peso da Regua and Pinhao. Trips naturally tend to focus on the wine growing and production of the area and overnight trips incorporate stays at country estates and manor houses alongside the River Douro. This is a leisurely way to visit the historic sights of the area and get a riverside view of the countryside of the region. The main routes usually end up in Porto and can be started or ended at either Peso de Regua or Pinhao. Cruises run from March through to November.
A DAY IN DOURO
What a place!
We recently visited Porto in Portugal and took the opportunity to visit the unforgettable Douro Port Wine region, about 1 hour and 20 minutes drive from Porto.
The place is stunning, and drenched in sunlight, we were blessed with very warm spring like weather, even in late Febrauary!
Whilst visiting the area we did some Port Wine tasting at Quinta Do Panascal, which is home to some of the best of Fonseca Ports.
Then driving along the famous N222 road, we experienced true Portuguese hospitality in the village of Pinhao, and namely the unforgettable Qualifer Charcuterie !
The journey is well worth it for any one staying Porto for more than 3 days. There is also a train that travels regularly, dropping you from Porto directly to the heart of the region, Pinhao.

Side Trip: Portugal, Douro Valley, Pinhão
About 2.5 hours east of Porto by train, you can reach the upper Douro Valley and the charming town of Pinhão. The town has two small guest houses and a five star hotel in addition to three restaurants. It is in the hear of the wine-making region that is the start of Port wine. Wine later gets shipped down river where it ages nearer to the sea in Vila Nova de Gaia across the river from Porto.
In this trip, we traveled up river for two days. We took a boat tour of the upper Douro river and tasted and toured the Quinta do Bomfim. We also ate at the Rufete Restaurant and the restaurant at the Vintage House hotel. Finally, we made the long hike of the Bomfim property in the afternoon.
We traveled in April and temperatures were around 25C each day. During the Summer, temperatures can reach 40-45C and in the Winter, most days the low is near 0C.

4U.wine - Palato do Côa
Um tinto do Douro, da região de Foz Côa com cor opaca, matiz rubi, mostrando juventude, na definição de Dirceu Vianna. No nariz, é convidativo e generoso, exibindo um coquetel de frutas negras maduras da floresta, possuindo grande intensidade e pureza excepcional de frutas, bem como um caráter mineral atraente.
Maria Emília Atallah acrescenta: nariz com frutas caminhando para estado de compota (calda de amoras, framboesas maceradas), interessante mineralidade que traz certa austeridade.
Manuel Vieira realça a pureza e delicadeza do aroma.
Na boca, é redondo com uma textura cremosa, estrutura sofisticada e agradável, final persistente (Dirceu).
Intensidade e persistência, mas sem pesar, por conta da alegre acidez (Maria Emília)
Finura e sabor num vinho de nítida vocação gastronômica (Manuel Vieira)
Maria Emília arremata: vinho elegante e fino!

No Douro com a maior herdeira de Portugal | Portugal | Ep. 15
Na beira do rio Douro, com Luisa Amorim, uma das maiores herdeiras de Portugal, conheci um dos projetos da família Amorim, a Quinta Nova Nossa Senhora do Carmo.
Um lugar único, uma quinta com excelentes vinhos do porto e vinhos tranquilos.
Acompanhe nesse bate papo da Luiza como era a travesseira dos vinhos do Douro até a Vila Nova de Gaia na cidade do Porto, os principais mercado da Quinta Nova e claro que não podia deixar de perguntar sobre o sonho e o futuro dessa grande empresária e amiga.

This is the perfect (De) tour to stroll around the Douro Valley Wine region off the beaten path.
We will pick you up in your accommodation and take you to Régua, from where we will start this amazing Detour.
This region has been shaped by human action since the roman times and in 1756 became one of the first regulated and demarcated wine regions in the world by hand of “Marquês de Pombal” one of the most important figures in the history of Portugal. On the year of 2001 it was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO.
Aboard a 4×4 vehicle you will be crossing the mountains through the vines and having a pic-nic in a place with superb views. Make sure that you take your time to appreciate the twists and turns of this sinuous river and to understand a little better the traditions and rituals of the locals.
During the afternoon you will have the opportunity to do a Port Wine Tasting in a typical Douro “Quinta” and learn a bit more about Port Wine and its qualities.
By going deep inside the vineyards you will be able to feel all the intensity of this magical place, there is no doubts that this is a great way to know the Douro Valley – Unesco World Heritage Site!
Take a Detour!
This Detour is available in English and in Portuguese.

2013 Portugal Douro, La Vallée Du Porto, Chez Sandeman, Quinta Do Seixo, Visite Avec Andres
Le porto est un vin muté portugais, produit uniquement dans la région du Haut Douro, à 100 km en amont de la ville éponyme, entre Peso da Régua et la frontière espagnole. La basse vallée du fleuve, au voisinage de Porto, n'est pas le domaine du vin de ce nom mais celui du vinho verde, le climat local ne permettant pas au raisin d'atteindre ici sa pleine maturité.
La vigne est essentiellement exploitée par de petits producteurs, possédant chacun une petite parcelle, appelée quinta.
Du vin est produit dans la vallée du Douro depuis l'Antiquité mais ce n'est qu'au xviie siècle qu'apparaît l'appellation « vin de Porto ».
Il connut à cette époque un grand succès en Angleterre. À la suite d'un embargo proclamé par le premier ministre de Louis XIV, Colbert, envers le roi d'Angleterre, les Anglais se trouvent privés de leur vin favori qu'est le « clairet » de Bordeaux, et découvrent au Portugal des vins de qualité similaire.
