Dow's Vintage 2024 to be opened by fire in the Douro to celebrate Port Wine Day

SAPO Notícias31 August 2026 at 13:33

The Douro prepares to celebrate Port Wine with an experience that brings together tradition, gastronomy and some of the most emblematic wines of the region. The Dow's Vintage 2024 event will be opened by fire in the Douro to celebrate Port Wine Day.

The tradition of opening wine by fire is an ancient practice dating back to the times when barrels of Port wine were transported by boat along the Douro River. This ceremonial opening represents not only the start of another edition of Dow's Vintage, but also a tribute to the history and wine culture of the Douro.

The event brings together producers, enthusiasts and visitors in a moment that combines the richness of the region's nectars with the landscape beauty of the Douro valley, reaffirming the importance of Port wine as a cultural and economic heritage of Portugal.
