Museu do Douro
Discover the rich history of Port wine at Museu do Douro with a tasting that includes a special keepsake glass. A must for wine lovers visiting Portugal!
Museu do Douro is a cultural and wine museum located in Peso da Régua, Vila Real, housed in an authentic 18th-century building on the Douro River. The museum interprets the Douro Valley's viticultural heritage and the region's natural and cultural landscape through dynamic, curated exhibitions. Visitors can explore permanent and temporary displays that explain port and Porto wine production, regional traditions, and local craftsmanship.
The site includes a restaurant (Restaurante “A Companhia”), a wine bar, a centre for arts and crafts and a shop offering gourmet products such as olive oil and teas. Several visitor experiences are available: guided and self-guided options, dedicated wine tastings with take-home items (Port wine glasses and bottled wine), and combined packages that pair museum access with meals. One offering provides a documented wine tasting with a 10% discount on purchases and convenient parking for guests.
Museu do Douro accommodates individual visitors and organized groups with specific ticket types. As part of the Douro Valley setting and noted in some descriptions as a UNESCO World Heritage site, the museum connects cultural interpretation with scenic river views. The combination of historic architecture, specialized exhibitions, food and wine experiences, and retail amenities make the Museu do Douro a trusted destination for visitors seeking to understand the Douro wine region. On site amenities and clear interpretation support relaxed exploration of the Douro's cultural and winemaking heritage. Tickets are offered for individuals and groups, and packaged experiences range from tastings with souvenirs to combined meal-and-museum days. Open daily availability.
