The regions of Porto and Douro is composed of the subregions DOC Douro, DOC Porto and Vinho Regional Duriense.

For a long time, the region was only known for its port wines. But the Douro has now also made a name for itself with its fine, powerful red and white wines. Steep slopes that drop deep down to the Douro River. On the horizon, the mountains grow into the sky, narrow roads wind their way up to them. Wine terraces with soils of slate and granite lie in the middle of the sun. The Douro and Porto region in northern Portugal is wild, beautiful and offers the best conditions for growing grapes - even if the work on the steep terraces is anything but easy for the Douro winegrowers. The wonderful steep slopes are not exactly easy for the vines either. In search of the limited water supply, they are literally forced to pierce stone slabs. They are rewarded at night, when the slate radiates back to them the sun and warmth absorbed during the day.
