Explore Museu do Douro
Peso da Régua, Portugal
Housed in the former Casa da Companhia, Museu do Douro explains the landscape, work and culture behind the wine region. The permanent exhibition gives context to the terraces and estates you will see elsewhere, with temporary displays adding other perspectives. It is a useful early stop on a first visit and a good option when the weather discourages long outdoor outings. Leave time for the river-facing terrace, and check seasonal closing times before arriving.
