with many wine cellars and houses where Port Wine is produced and
where you can taste all the different types. Stop by the Quinta do
Seixo Wineries, Quinta do Bomfim, the Internacional Parque Natural
do Douro and drive along the national highway 222.
You can sleep at the Six Senses Douro Valley, a renovated 19th-centu-
ry manor house set high on a hill overlooking the vine-covered rolling
hills of the Douro Valley and the river below. A spa, a selection of
rooms, suites and villas, restaurants, wine library, swimming pools
and organic garden are a few of the many features offered. The Wine
House Hotel is one of the other options at the valley. For those who
are edgier, it’s possible to spend the night in the Wine Barrels, promot-
ed by the Quinta da Pacheca’s team. You can enjoy the views through
picnics in the vineyard, bicycle tours that extend to the Abraão Val-
ley, wine tastings, guided tours of the winery or a special meal.
Try the amazing food from Quinta Nova Luxury Winery House –
Conceitus Winery Restaurant, inspired by the customs and traditions
of the Douro region, privileging the local flavours and products of
each era. It is the so-called “local food”, which has a strong character
of sustainability and preservation of local food resources. The Wine
House Restaurant is another great option, integrated into a tourism
unit, where the owners of Quinta da Pacheca wines transformed the
old warehouses and wineries into a modern and beautiful hotel, with
a dining room with a privileged view of the river. Dishes such as cod
with broa and octopus rice with fillets are some of the specialities.
After all this amazing fun and amazing views, you can go back to
Porto with limousines from Blue Heaven Portugal, by car or by train,
with the amazing historical train from Régua to Porto, for a trip to
the past that you need to take.
