The Alto Douro Wine Region or Alto Douro Wine Region is an area in the northeast of Portugal with more than 26 thousand hectares, classified by UNESCO, on December 14, 2001, as a World Heritage Site, in the category of cultural landscape, surrounded by mountains that give it particular mesological and climatic characteristics.
This region, which is bathed by the Douro River and is part of the so-called Douro Vinhateiro, has been producing wine for more than 2,000 years, including the world-famous Port wine.
The long tradition of viticulture has produced a cultural landscape of exceptional beauty that reflects its technological, social and economic evolution.
