I had decided to stay at least one night at a vineyard in the Douro while we were in Portugal. Round hills with steep vineyards where I would be served the estate's crisp white wine in condensation-sweaty glasses at sunset.
In the Douro Valley's hot and dry climate, wine has been grown along the steep river banks for hundreds of years. We drove around among vineyards and wine hotels and learned all about port wine and enjoyed the world's most beautiful views.
