Quinta do Bomfim
Not only does this produce Dow's ports regularly judged to be among the world's best wines (Wine Spectactor gave the 2007 vintage a record 100 score), but it's just a five minute walk from Pinhão railway station and quayside, making it an easy visit for travelers without a car. The main lodge with cellars containing giant vats and barrels dates back to 1896. There's a museum and tasting room overlooking the river. Owned by the Anglo-Portuguese Symington family, which has been in the Douro wine business for 14 generations.
