Peso da Régua Municipality

A riverside town in the Douro Valley wine region, where you can enjoy wine tastings, cruises, and scenic train rides amidst terraced vineyards.

Peso da Régua is located on the north bank of the middle Douro River in northern Portugal. It is a key town in the Alto Douro wine region and has historically been closely linked to the Port wine trade. The Douro Museum tells the history and terroir of the region, Quinta do Vallado offers tours and wine tastings, and Douro River cruises and historic steam trains are classic ways to admire the valley; the Miradouro de São Leonardo de Galafura offers panoramic views of the river bend and terraced vineyards. Spring and autumn are the best times to visit, with the grape harvest occurring around September. It can be reached by train from Porto along the scenic valley line.
