Portugal is a country that I don’t think gets enough press for being a destination of both incredible beauty and excellent value. And my recent trip to the Douro Valley proved that in spades!

The Douro Valley is the primary wine-growing region of northern Portugal. Having read a bit about it and been intrigued, I was eager to sign up for the Douro Valley post-conference tour option at TBU Porto. I had heard that this region was beautiful — in fact, the train route through the Douro Valley is known as one of the most beautiful train journeys in Europe.
