Routes, Visits and Museums

Don't miss it:

National Road 222

Distance: 22 km

Elected the best road in the world for driving, for the pleasure, the challenge, the direct relationship between straightaways and curves, and above all, the scenery. It is the road along the Douro River that connects Régua to Pinhão. Along its sides, you can see some of the best Port wine estates.

Visits to Douro Wine Estates

There are several wineries along the Douro River that offer guided tours and wine tastings. Some even have a small museum. During the harvest season, you can also participate in the grape picking, treading the grapes in the lagares (traditional wine presses), or simply stroll among the vines. Examples include: Quinta do Vallado, 24 km away; Quinta do Seixo, accessible via the N222 road, about 40 km away; and Quinta de La Rosa, in Pinhão, 45 km away.
