A day in Regua, Portugal, starting with a half day visit to the family owned Quinta de Pacheco Winery. Learned all about the complex issues with this region's wine growing ("9 months of winter and 3 months of Hell!").This is the premium Port wine region of the world. Got here in time for a "Lucy and Ethel" moment. We're here just in time for harvest. Next was our cooking class (cod and octopus, each for salad and entree for our lunch), and wine tasting, of course, with lunch.
This afternoon a boat ride down the Duoro River, flanked by hundreds of mountainside vineyards.
