The History and Tradition of Douro Wines: For Authentic Wines Lovers

The Douro Valley is one of the most iconic wine regions in the world, recognized not only for its unique beauty, but also for the richness of its viticulture. The history of Douro wines dates back more than two thousand years, making this region one of the oldest in continuous production.

Douro and its Wine Tradition

Wine production in the Douro rose to prominence in the 18th century with the official demarcation of the region by the Marquis of Pombal, making it the first regulated wine region in the world.
