Grape Treading in Douro Valley Portugal Helpful Information

The English have always had a fascination with Port from the region of Porto. Not surprising when you see the beauty of the region. Since the beginning of the C17th the nectar extracted from the hill slopes above the Douro river has brought fame and wealth to the region. Famed as the capital of the north it is also a favourite place for national gastronomy.

Staying at the 5 star Boutique Aquapura Douro hotel on the banks of the river your stay will inspire both your soul and your mind.

Actually taking part in the Grape Picking and Treading of the Harvest, plenty of wine tasting and relaxing in the hotels Spa makes this a romantic, relaxing and interesting break. Definitely one for both him and her!
