The spiritual home of Port wine, Douro is the oldest wine region in the world. The Douro Demarcated Wine Region dates back to 1756 and was established in the reign of King José I by his minister Marquês de Pombal. Wineries in Porto & Douro are along the axis of the Douro River and divided into 3 sub-regions: Douro Superior, Alto Corgo and the Baixo Corgo. The denomination "Port" is explained by the fact that the wine is stored and commercialized from the port located between the cities of Porto and Vila Nova de Gaia.
