| Why you should go: Portugal is home to 14 distinct wine regions, but the Douro Valley tops the list as a must-visit destination for wine lovers. In addition to being the home of port wine, the area is remarkable for its 2,000-year-plus winemaking history and its enchanting scenery featuring mountains, steep slopes covered by terraced vineyards and the banks of the Douro River. What’s the big deal? For $1365 (reg. $1883), two guests can spend three nights in the medieval village of Marialva (approximately two hours east of Porto) at the Casas do Côro, a 31-room hillside property with its own spa, winery and restaurant. This Travelzoo-exclusive offer is packed with perks including welcome drinks, daily breakfast, wine tastings, a cooking class, a four-course dinner, a 45-minute ATV ride through the vineyards and more. And with dates available through April 2024, you have plenty of time to plan your escape to this UNESCO World Heritage-listed region. |
