Quinta da Pacheca
An 18th-century winery on the opposite bank from Régua, famous for its wine-barrel guest rooms. It offers tastings, lunch and grape-treading experiences.
Quinta da Pacheca sits on the south bank of the Douro, across from Régua. It has been documented since the 18th century and is one of the first estates to bottle Douro wine under its own brand. Its best-known feature is the giant wooden wine-barrel guest rooms scattered through the vineyards, along with the estate hotel and restaurant. It offers a cellar tour with tasting (from about €20), vineyard lunches, and, during harvest season, the chance to try traditional foot-treading of grapes. It is about 3 km from Régua town centre, and reservations are required.
