  • Douro Valley
    The Douro Valley is easily Portugal’s most famous wine region and where you should start. Port wines are popular and adventurous travelers are invited to join the grape harvest in September and October. © Dimaberkut | Dreamstime.com
  • Valenca do Minho
    The largest Portuguese wine region by size is Minho, where travelers take the green wine trail. Green wine is a regional specialty that gets its name from its young age rather than its hue. © Venemama | Dreamstime.com
  • Vineyard, Algarve
    Algarve is the southernmost wine region in Portugal, in the Iberian Peninsula. Locals have produced wine here since 2000 B.C., taking advantage of the sunny, balmy climate and the dry winds. © Arenaphotouk | Dreamstime.com
  • Madeira
    Portugal’s Madeira wine is nearly as famous as its port and it hails from the Madeira wine region, situated on a lovely island. Beyond the wine, the region offers beautiful beaches, natural swimming pools and historic villages. © Kora Brouwer | Dreamstime.com
  • Alentejo
    Alentejo earns the name “the Provence and Tuscany of Portugal.” The wine region boasts a strong culinary culture and, while exploring the rural area, guests enjoy the opportunity to stay at several wine estates. © Alvaro Roxo | Dreamstime.com
  • Centro region, Portugal
    Dão, with its high altitude, is notable for its reds, and is one of the oldest Portuguese wine regions. Follow the Dão wine trail to discover loads of new favorite vineyards. © Jorisvo | Dreamstime.com
  • Colares
    If you only have a short time in Portugal, Lisbon offers its own wine scene and includes nine wine sub-regions within its metropolitan borders. Visit the small, Colares sub-region to see grapes growing in the sand right off the Atlantic Ocean. © Allard1 | Dreamstime.com
