About Pinhão
Pinhão is the heart of the Cima Corgo, the most highly classified sub-region of the Douro for port-wine production. The little railway station is famous for its azulejo-tile panels depicting the grape harvest. Most cruises moor here for an overnight or for a long afternoon, with shore excursions including a quinta visit and tasting at Quinta do Bomfim, Quinta do Seixo or the Sandeman estate, and an optional jeep tour up the steeply terraced vineyard slopes.
