The Sabrosa region is located in the north of Portugal, in the Douro area, one of the oldest and most prestigious wine regions in the world. Wine production in this area has a long history, dating back to Roman times, and has developed thanks to the characteristics of the terroir and the expertise of the local winegrowers.

The Sabrosa region is known for the production of high quality wines, especially red wines made from indigenous grape varieties such as Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, Tinta Roriz and Tinta Barroca. These varieties are grown on steep slopes and terraces that extend throughout the Douro Valley, and benefit from the Mediterranean climate with Atlantic influence, with hot, dry summers and mild, wet winters.

Wine production in the Sabrosa region is governed by the Douro Controlled Designation of Origin (DOC) system, which sets out the growing and production requirements for the region’s grapes and wines. In addition, the region has a number of renowned wine producers, such as Wine & Soul, who have contributed to the development and promotion of Douro wines around the world. Founded in 1999 by an enthusiastic local couple, they will be present at the Fine #WineTourismExpo on 1 and 2 March to present their extensive wine tourism offer.
