About Pinhão

Right besides a picturesque bend in the Rio Douro, in the green and fertile Douro valley, Pinhão is a rather cute town and, perhaps more importantly, a wonderful wine centre. Because the reasons to visit Pinhão aren’t actually centred around Pinhão itself, some of our Guru’s recommendations for the best places to stay in Pinhão are actually in amongst the vines in the valley or in smaller neighbouring towns.

Things not to miss:

  • Port is the main tipple produced here, but there’s plenty of variety to taste, at the cellar doors, or in the beautiful bars on the riverside promenade.
  • As with many wine regions, Pinhão is also a very good spot for those with an interest in food.
  • The lush surroundings make it perfect for walkers. And anyone looking for a peaceful corner or the world to just relax in. If you have a car there are some truly scenic drives in the region, and it’s certainly worth seeing the valley from the river as well.

Our pick of the best places to stay in Pinhão are all perfect bases from which to explore this beautiful region.
