Douro Valley
Portugal
It’s no secret that fall has this special way of simply transforming a place into something out of a fairy tale. That being said, some places just look indescribably better than others this time of year. One of such scenic destinations is the Douro Valley.
The home of the finest wines in Portugal, the vivid colors that the leaves turn in autumn here will leave you at a loss for words. An art that is fast fading, you can enjoy your days lazily watching the people trod grapes by foot from late September to early October.
