Douro valley from Casal de Loivos viewpoint
Douro is a Portuguese wine region centered on the Douro River in the Trás-os-Montes e Alto Douro region. It is sometimes referred to as the Alto Douro upper Douro, as it is located some distance upstream from Porto, sheltered by mountain ranges from coastal influence. The region has Portugal`s highest wine classification as a Denominação de Origem Controlada DOC. While the region is associated primarily with Port wine production, the Douro produces just as much table wine non-fortified wines as it does fortified wine. The non-fortified wines are typically referred to as `Douro wines`.
