On the plateau between Alijó and Favaios, in the demarcated Douro region, there is a blanket of vineyards between monuments, castros, the Roman presence, the Arab occupation and the Christian reconquest. In these two parishes, making "moscatel" wine is an art to be known.

Starting this itinerary next to the statue of the "Douro Man", in Alijó, we will set off to discover vineyards and wineries of this wine region to Favaios where We visited the Bread and Wine Museum and the Adega de Favaios. Always among the vineyards, we get to know more about this region and We return to Alijó to explore its entire history and admire the imposing Plátano de Alijó which is more than 160 years old. We finish this script with a "toast of honor".
