Friday, May 18: Touring the Douro
Enjoyed a full day tour to the Douro region. First we visited Amarante which sits right on the picturesque River Tamega
We went over the Sao Goncalo bridge gives you stunning views of the town and leads you to the striking 16th century Sao Goncalo convent. Then we went to Régua, the official centre of the Port wine growing region. Finally arrive to Pinhão, which makes for a great base
to explore the Douro wine region as it is the current Port wine capital, We enjoyed a wine tasting visit to a local producer. In which many of us bought a couple of bottles and then return to Porto. We will enjoy an amazing dinner together at the hotel.
