Lamego sits in the heart of the Douro wine region, home to centuries-old quintas producing world-class port and table wines. The town offers authentic tastings at family-run wineries with spectacular terraced vineyard backdrops.
You'll have 2 hours to explore Lamego's baroque sanctuary and historic center, followed by 2 hours in Peso da Regua to visit wine estates and enjoy the riverside atmosphere.
This 18th-century baroque sanctuary features an impressive 686-step staircase decorated with azulejo tiles and fountains. The pilgrimage site offers panoramic views over Lamego and the surrounding Douro Valley vineyards.
Peso da Regua serves as the capital of the Douro wine region, featuring the Douro Museum, historic railway station, and riverside promenades. The town offers authentic quintas for wine tastings and river cruise departures.
Harvest typically occurs from mid-September to early October, when the valleys come alive with traditional grape-picking activities. This period offers unique cultural experiences but requires advance booking due to increased tourism.
Some must-see sites during your 2-hour tour of Lamego include the Sanctuary of Nossa Senhora dos Remedios, Lamego Cathedral, and the Castle of Lamego.
