The Home of Port

The Távora river meandering through the terraced hillside

If you have never had the opportunity to visit the home of Port then you are missing out on beautiful scenery, wonderful people, great history, and amazing port.  The Douro Valley and Porto /Vila Nova De Gaia is where all the magic happens.  What I enjoyed most by this experience was the fact that I got to see and enjoy where this wonderful wine calls home and how its home has shaped it through the years.  We often forgot what has shaped the wines we drink.  Port is no exception with its beautiful terraced hill sides, storied port houses, and families.  All of these have made what port is today.  If you have never tried this fortified wine I suggest giving it a try.  It is wonderful on a cold evening or after a meal with family and friends.  While you take a sip you may find yourself tasting raisins, leather, tobacco, or something else even more amazing
