The program for the celebrations of 20 years of the Douro World Heritage includes a hundred initiatives, which will last for a year, and a presentation of the “Vinha D’Ouro 2022” award. There is also an opera, exhibitions, and the launch of a hymn and a wine.

Winter doesn’t necessarily have to be melancholy and gray. It can also be inspiring and full of color. So, if you’re thinking of going on a little getaway, the Douro is an excellent option. The region has a characteristic glow at any time of year, but in winter it is more intense. It is the ideal place to get out of the routine and that is why it is increasingly sought after at this time of year, both by Portuguese and foreign tourists. It’s not just its sweeping landscapes or natural beauty, so discover several activities to do in the Douro in winter. Winter can really be inspiring and in the Douro it has another color.

Today is the Port Wine Day, an initiative of the Institute of Douro and Porto Wines to celebrate the anniversary of the Douro Demarcated Region and to promote Port Wine.
