Valley is the oldest demarcated wine region in the world. First, the river carved the deep valleys out of the land and
then Man transformed the schist mountains into soil and walls and planted the vines, green in summer, flamecolored in
autumn. With knowledge handed down from generation to generation, he inclined the terraces to expose the vines to the
rays of the sun which give the grapes the warmth that the wine craves. It was from the fruits of the land and Man’s
labor that this unique wine and landscape were made. These wine estates are in the Peso da Régua and Pinhão area, two
towns that are not far apart and are easy to get to, only separated by the road that in 2015 was declared to be the best
road for driving in the world, the EN 222. In fact, driving along a road that follows the banks of the River Douro is
