5 SET SAIL AROUND PORTO


Think Porto, think port. The rich, fruity fortified wine was first traded here in the 17th century and takes its name from the city. This heritage is now being celebrated with the opening of World of Wine, a cultural district that will see Porto’s centuries-old cellars turned into a series of interactive experiences this summer. Of course, the city really owes its reputation to the verdant terraces of the surrounding Douro Valley, and there’s no more idyllic way to explore them than on a river cruise. AmaWaterways has a seven-night Wine Cruise taking in the


highlights, with tastings at quintas, hiking excursions, a trip to Salamanca, port sampling in the city and plenty more on the agenda. Book it: From £3,227 including flights and transfers, round-trip from Porto in 2021. amawaterways.co.uk
