Peso Da Regua (Pass By)

Known as the international headquarters of the Douro, Régua is where the history of the Port wine trade truly comes to life. Surrounded by majestic terraced vineyards, this vibrant town serves as our gateway to the heart of the valley. From here, we begin our descent into the most scenic landscapes of Northern Portugal.

R. Estr. Nacional 222

Experience a stretch of road frequently voted the "Most Beautiful Drive in the World." This scenic route between Régua and Pinhão hugs the Douro River, offering front-row views of the famous "schist steps"—the man-made terraces that have defined this region for centuries. We take our time so you can soak in the world-class scenery.
