Ancient Roots, Competitive Future: Tasting the Douro

Far more than just the world’s oldest demarcated wine region, the Douro stands as a living testament to the idea that tradition is not a memory of the past, but a resource for the future. We invite you to discover the gastronomic excellence of our UNESCO World Heritage Site through its iconic wines, high-altitude olive oils, toasted almonds, organic honey, traditional cheeses, cured meats and artisanal breads - products rooted in centuries of knowledge and cultural heritage that show how traditional sectors and local talent flourish through innovation and competitiveness. Join us to discover how Europe grows stronger when its regions can prosper without losing what makes them unique!
