Grape Harvest of the Porto and Douro Wines
The top “can’t miss” experience in the Douro is harvest. September is traditionally the month of grape harvest and the time to gather the grapes, carry them in baskets, crush them and make the nectar of the gods: Wine. Channel your inner Lucy Ricardo and stomp grapes in the concrete lagares at Quinta da Pacheca (Pacheca estate), one of the Douro’s most well known properties, and also one of the first to bottle wine with its own brand. If time permits, book a stay at the boutique hotel, and make sure to visit the gorgeous wine cellars. Awarded Best of Wine Tourism in Innovative Wine Tourism Experiences—2016.
