Regua (Peso de Regua) Cruises, Portugal

This small town, nestled in the rural area of Vila Real, is right at the centre of Portugal’s port wine district. It’s no surprise, with that in mind, that wine-tasting's always on the cards – you can make your way up to hillside vineyards to sample a selection of local bottles. Away from the corks and carafes, the Douro Museum in town is one of the main draws. It delves into the history of town, and there are a few inevitable nods to its wine-making history. The Miradouro de Sao Leonardo de Galafura is worth adding to your to-do list, too – it’s a high-up spot that gives you widescreen views over the surrounding valleys.
