More Than Wine: Taste the Douro Beyond the Vine

The Douro, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is known for its wine, but its richness goes far beyond the vineyard! From almonds, apples and chestnuts to oranges, oxheart tomatoes (‘tomate coração de boi’) and aromatic herbs, the region offers an extraordinary range of high-quality ingredients. Too often, these products are limited to traditional uses with little added value. This tasting session invites visitors to explore how the Douro is diversifying its food identity – transforming its local resources into new flavours, products and opportunities that celebrate rural innovation and sustainability.
