On 17 May more than 50 members of the Algarve Wine Society headed to the extreme corner of the Algarve, for a winetasting and dinner at the Memmo Baleeira Hotel.
Douro Valley, located in the northeast of Portugal, is the oldest demarcated wine region in the world, and classified by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site. The landscape is dominated by vineyards, that conquer the banks of Douro river to the upper point of each mountain.
The mighty Douro river that flows from west side until Atlantic ocean, in Oporto, is known all over the world for the unique Port wines and the fine and rich DOC white, red and rosé wines.
Soul Wines – Douro Portugal, is the umbrella name of a group with more than 40 wine producers from the Douro demarcated region. Since 2016, wine tastings, masterclasses and the wine trips along the Douro were always recognised by more than 500 participants, as a surprising experience due to the diversity and quality of the wines presented by traditional Douro family producers, that for generations produce the best grapes and wines of the region.
