DOURO VALLEY - Portugal - page 374

Getting There: This place is only accessible by car; it's well-marked off the Régua-
Pinhão road (N-222), up a thrilling little side road that follows the Távora River as it
branches off from the Douro (closer to Pinhão).
▲ QuintadelaRosa —This family-run quinta is serious about its wine and eager to show
it off on an in-depth, friendly one-hour tour of the facility with a generous finale of four
tastings. Three-course meals paired with their wines cost €27.50 per person; reserve in
advance.
CostandHours: €3, but credited toward purchase; tours April-Oct Mon-Fri at 11:00,
call to arrange weekends and off-season; tastings available April-Oct Mon-Fri 9:00-18:00
and Sat mornings, none Sun; one mile downstream from Pinhão, tel. [phone], fax

Getting There: This is perhaps the only family quinta that is close enough to a town
that you can do it without a car (20-minute hike from Pinhão). For directions and inform-
ation on their accommodations, see here .
