Article filed in: News » An introduction to the Douro Valley, Wine Region of the Year

Each year the world’s biggest wine tasting association (Munskankarna) selects a “Wine Region of the Year”. This year it is the Douro Valley. Very well deserved! A spectacular wine region, perhaps the most stunning vineyard landscapes of all, with many great wines. And definitely not only port wines. Today they make many excellent “table” wines too. On the wine travel blog we recently published a short introduction to the region.

There you can read about the wines, the grape varieties, the landscape, the food and other things. All illustrated with pictures of course.

Read it here: The Douro Valley: a meandering river and terraced vineyards – “Wine Region of the Year”.
