Fans of Portugal’s legendary Port wine will want to find a way to linger in the pleasant little town of Peso da Regua, situated right in the heart of winegrowing country. The town is actually the traditional centre of the Port wine trade, which visitors can learn more about at Casa do Douro, which showcases the history of this kind of wine. With the majestic Serra do Marao mountains rising around its scenic valley and the gentle Douro River running through it, Peso da Regua isn’t lacking in natural scenery. It’s an inspiring location and most visitors stay several days in one of the Peso da Regua hotels in town to better explore the wineries that cover the rolling hills. In town, a healthy selection of cafes and bars serve up the best wine and food this region has to offer. There aren’t many historic attractions in Peso da Regua, but just outside the town are some great excursions to medieval monasteries and other traditional villages.
