Harvest in Douro Valley
Known globally has one of the most beautiful wine regions of the world, it is by no chance that the Douro Valley landscape is recognised worldwide and is considered World Heritage by UNESCO. This region keeps the tradition of winemaking for more than 2000 years, and this tradition has resulted in a beautiful idyllic landscape that you won’t find anywhere else in the world. The greenery of the mountain combined with the beautiful colours of the river is something beyond amazing. During the harvest period (usually from September to October) this region comes to live. This is a festive period when all the workers start hand-picking the grapes for the wineries to start their production.
To be involved in this atmosphere is not only a unique experience that your team won’t certainly forget, but also a very nice way of engaging your team in an activity that involves values such as communication, cooperation, camaraderie and persistence.
