A worthwhile museum, which scores points despite/or because of its very minimalist presentation of the subject matter. At the end, enjoy a port wine on the terrace of the museum's café.

The bridge is really well-made. The view from the bridge is beautiful, even though there's still a lot that could be done with the buildings at the end.

The Casa do Douro was established in 1932 as the Douro Winemakers' Union Federation. Its headquarters, dating from 1944, with its exterior clad in polished granite, was designed by Portuguese architect José Porto. Inside, noteworthy are the stained-glass window by painter Lino António and the grand hall, with three central crystal chandeliers, shaped like clusters and weighing over a ton, as well as the Pombaline marker identified with the number 1. When the Douro region was first demarcated, 331 granite markers were placed. The Pombaline markers (so named because the demarcation was designed by the Marquis of Pombal) are all different and share the word Feitoria (vinho de feitoria, synonymous with better-quality wine) and the year (1758 or 1761). At the time, wines were classified according to their quality and destination. The best wine, known as Vinho de Feitoria, was sent to England; Vinho de Embarque was exported to Brazil; and Vinho de Ramo was sold in Portugal. The stained glass window of the Casa do Douro, by painter Lino António, encapsulates the entire dynamic of the Douro Demarcated Region. It covers an area of 50m2 and forms a triptych. In the center panel, we see three large figures. The central figure represents the Casa do Douro and holds a scroll that reads "... Casa do Douro, decree 21,883, November 1932." This means that the government, through the aforementioned Decree-Law, created the Union Federation of Winegrowers of the Douro Region in November 1932, now known as Casa do Douro.

The Casa do Douro was founded in 1932 as a cooperative association of Douro winegrowers. This house, built in 1944, is the original home.

Very nice and not overcrowded. Parking is free too 😃

If there is more than one ship moored at the dock, it is better to avoid the city because it will be too crowded.

Visit the Douro Museum The Douro Museum, as a regional museum, has the mission of representing the natural and cultural heritage of the Douro Demarcated Region, consecrated with the status of World Heritage by UNESCO as a cultural, evolving and living landscape. The Douro Museum headquarters is located in the city of Peso da Régua, the result of the renovation of one of the most emblematic buildings in the history of the Douro Demarcated Region from the 18th century, the Casa da Companhia, inaugurated on 20 December 2008. Combining tradition and modernity, it is a collective space of memory and identity of the wine region, in constant dialogue with the present, and at the same time, as an instrument for promoting the activities associated with winemaking, cultural tourism and wine tourism. It consists of a central space – the Exhibition Area – where the permanent exhibition “Douro: Matter and Spirit” is located. Surrounding this exhibition space are the “A Companhia” Restaurant, the Shop, the Information Centre (Archive and Library), the Reading Room, the Conservation and Restoration Centre, the Wine Bar and the Garden Terrace with views over the Douro River. In the adjacent space there is another building of modern architecture covered with black slate panels, which houses the Educational Service.
