Wine tourism in Portugal - Discover the Vinho Verde region

Wine tourism is one of Portugal's most successful tourism segments , with trips motivated by tasting the flavor and aroma of wines, complemented by discovering the traditions and cultures of the places that produce wine. There are 14 DOC (Denominação de Origem Controlada) regions in Portugal. The Vinho Verde Region - demarcated in 1908 - is the largest wine region in Portugal, with 7,000 km2 and one of the largest in Europe.

Its landscapes are a reflection of its color and freshness! Among the 9 sub-regions that make up this region, you can find the Basto region. This is where you'll find Quinta da Raza, in Lugar de Peneireiros, in Celorico de Basto. This uniqueterroir - due to the mountains that surround it and the river Tâmega that runs through them - gives rise to gentle slopes and magnificent sun exposure, which is important for bathing Raza's granite and clay-schist soils.
