Quinta do Crasto
A top-tier winery on a ridge on the north bank of the Douro. Its infinity pool, seemingly suspended above the terraces, is one of the valley's most famous sights.
Quinta do Crasto lies on the north bank of the Douro between Régua and Pinhão. Its history goes back to the 17th century, and it is known for high-quality Douro reds and old-vine wines. The estate is built on a ridge above the river, and its architect-designed infinity pool appears to float above the terraces and the valley. It is among the most frequently used images in Douro promotional photos (the pool is for guests only). Cellar tours and tastings can be booked, and some packages include lunch. Reach it by car either by detouring around via the N222 on the opposite bank, or from the direction of Pinhão.
