Douro Valley wine tour day

Boarded a bus for a trip to the Douro Valley.
Made some new friends... all Americans but I don't hold that against this bunch they were good eggs. I did however to lower the average age by around 20 years 😂.
First a 45 minute drive to a Portery.... Port tastings for morning tea... what could go wrong. Down into the valley for a traditional Portuguese lunch bread olives rice pork ribs in red wine with cabbage, lamb stew and white beans with chorizo and hock.
And if course more port and wine....
Local train station decorated with tiled pictures of wine history. I've spared you all the full set!
Nothing to 'shit selfie's with so you got wine barrels.
Then a river cruise which was beautiful surrounded by raw wine vines.
Next a boutique winery with spectacular views and more tastings. Lovely day.
Off to Coimbra by train in the morning.もっと詳しく
