About Peso da Regua

Close to Vila Real, Peso da Régua has long been one of Northern Portugal’s top port-producing hubs. Set high above the banks of the Douro River, the town promises gorgeous vineyard views, and the best places to stay in Peso da Régua offer a brilliant springboard for discovering the Douro Valley’s many charms.

Peso da Régua is surrounded by mature vineyards, many of which offer excellent tours and tastings. Barrels have been shipped downriver from Peso da Régua to Vila Nova de Gaia — where they were left to mature — for centuries. Delve into this rich history of viticulture at the Museo do Douro, or ramble and cycle between vineyards for a sense of the modern-day wine-producing process.

The Miradouro do São Leonardo da Galafura, topped with a small chapel and boasting panoramic valley views, is well worth the challenging hike. The Douro River itself, which winds its way through the picturesque valley, is also an attraction in its own right. Hire kayaks and paddle boards to glide through the cool waters, or take a boat trip with the whole family. Many of the best places to stay in Peso da Régua have fabulous restaurants, perfect for savouring regional cuisine with a bottle of locally produced wine.
