Fall in Northern Portugal is the time of harvest for the most famous fruits of the region: grapes in the vineyard and olives in the orchards. Here, among the coastal taverns and autumnal hued wine estates, the region’s easy and soulful way of life is at its warmest and most embracing.
This trip is a full week from the city into the countryside. Along the way you’ll experience the grandeur of the history, the shining coast, and the verdant terraces of the Douro Valley wine country. All famous places, sure, but presented with the insider access provided by one of the region’s most illustrious food writers.
