The Douro Valley, in Northwest Portugal, is the ultimate destination for those who want to discover not only the country’s rich history but also its magnificent wine. In this case, there’s also a refreshing twist – the entire experience of touring the Douro Valley can be explored aboard a Glatt Kosher cruise. Here’s what you can expect:
Delicious Wine
The Douro Valley is a premiere wine region in Portugal. Home to a variety of vineyards and wine making facilities, this wondrous locale is sure to bring out your inner wine connoisseur. With the advent of Jewish travel tours in the Iberian Peninsula, you can also be assured to have great kosher wine options along the way!
Beautiful Weather
We’re all yearning for a chance to bask in the sunshine of other places, so why not the Douro? The way the light reflects against the waters of the riverway is nothing short of majestic. The temperate climate of the valley during peak travel months is also something that you shouldn’t miss.
Rich Jewish History
The Douro Valley is not without its long history, as evident in its Museu de Doro. However, it is also the home of Sephardi Jewish heritage, from Visigothic to Muslim to post-Expulsion times. Places like Lamego, Belmonte and even the great city of Porto are full of rich Jewish heritage. If there’s any place that’s perfect for an educational kosher river cruise, it’s the Douro.
Anyone who has been to Portugal knows that the Portuguese have a lot of pride in their tradition and preserving their history, but they also have great cuisine (and wine). One thing many people don’t realize is that a good number of their food is very kosher-approved, so finding kosher food in Portugal should be no problem.
