Discover what the Portuguese have long known; the Douro region is one of the most sublime destinations in Europe. Over millennia, the Douro River sliced deep valleys into the earth, creating a spectacular landscape that is today one of the world’s oldest demarcated wine regions. With dramatic terrace vineyards carved into mountains, whitewashed quintas (estates) and charming 18th-century wine cellars, the beautiful Douro Valley delights visitors from all over the world.

Start in the dynamic, sumptuous city of Porto, with its historic center and exquisite food and wine, before wending your leisurely way along the Douro to some of Portugal's most beautiful towns and regions for seven nights.

History, superb food and wine, pretty villages and idyllic scenery are just the beginning. Finish your tour back in beautiful Porto, where you can raise a final farewell toast with its namesake wine.

The itinerary includes professional talks and content relevant to dentistry professionals.
