The Alto Douro Vinhateiro or Douro Demarcated Region is the oldest wine-growing region in the world. It is an area in northeastern Portugal classified by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site in the category of cultural landscape. This cultural landscape of the Alto Douro combines the monumental nature of the Douro river valley, and its tributaries, Távora, Tedo, Torto, Corgo, among others, made of steep slopes and rugged soils, with the ancestral and continuous action of Man, adapting the space to the Mediterranean-type agricultural needs that the region supports. The intimate relationship between human activity and nature has created an ecosystem of unique value, where the characteristics of the terrain are used in an exemplary way, with the modeling of the landscape in terraces, preserving it from erosion and allowing the cultivation of vines. In 1756 Marquês de Pombal, with a futuristic vision, created the Companhia Geral da Agricultura das Vinhas do Alto Douro and the Douro Demarcated Region, becoming the first demarcated and regulated wine region in the world. This region, which covers a vast area, extends along the Douro River and its tributaries, from Serra do Marão and Montemuro to Barca de Alva, passing through São João da Pesqueira, the municipality of Alto Douro Vinhateiro, which has the largest area classified as world heritage by Unesco. The result in the Alto Douro Wine Region is a truly inspiring terraced setting. The region that has been producing wines for over 2,000 years, with Port Wine standing out among them, is a unique landscape in the world. This panorama was photographed on the side of the N222, one of the most beautiful roads that wind through the incredible Douro wine region, close to Quinta do Seixo / Sandeman where you can observe the landscape in terraces right next to the Douro River.
