A morning departure from Porto unravels into a ribbon of road where the Douro River dares you to look away. The vehicle climbs through Marão’s shadow, then descends to terraces cut into schist—rows of vines clinging to steep slopes like handholds. The first stop in Amarante offers a breath of medieval stone and convent sweets before the tour follows National Road 222, widely regarded as one of Portugal’s most scenic drives.
