Porto accommodation and Port wine
Most beachy holidays in Europe would seem incomplete to many people without being able to relax with a glass of wine on the terrace or by the harbour with a good meal. If this is on your holiday agenda, then Porto is an excellent location for holiday villas in Portugal. Port wine is also known as Vinho do Porto and is a fortified wine produced exclusively in the Douro Valley, where Porto is situated. This is a strong, heavy and sweet wine which is happily paired with strong cheese, like Queijo da Serra or sweet desserts, like apple crumble or a traditional custard tart. This flavour also complements meaty dishes, like suckling pig or Portuguese ham slathered in cheese.
