The Douro is world famous for its Port wine. Port is a fortified wine, or wine to which brandy has been added to stop the fermentation process and ultimately leaving the wine a bit sweeter and with a higher ABV, typically around 20%.&nbsp; This sweet treat comes in many varieties and is often served with dessert, but I found the port tonic cocktails that our bartender onboard was serving up to be my favorite! So, whether you are looking for a Ruby, White, Rose or Tawny, try your local liquor store for bottle of Cockburns, Sandman, Croft or my favorite\u2026Morgadio Da Calcada.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-2 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"896\" height=\"670\" src=\"https:\/\/ustoa.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Mayflower3.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"4268\" data-link=\"https:\/\/ustoa.com\/blog\/?attachment_id=4268#main\" class=\"wp-image-4268\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ustoa.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Mayflower3.jpg 896w, https:\/\/ustoa.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Mayflower3-300x224.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ustoa.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Mayflower3-768x574.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 896px) 100vw, 896px\" \/><figcaption class=\"blocks-gallery-item__caption\"><em>Douro Wine<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"896\" height=\"671\" src=\"https:\/\/ustoa.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Mayflower4.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"4269\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/ustoa.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Mayflower4.jpg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/ustoa.com\/blog\/?attachment_id=4269#main\" class=\"wp-image-4269\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ustoa.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Mayflower4.jpg 896w, https:\/\/ustoa.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Mayflower4-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ustoa.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Mayflower4-768x575.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 896px) 100vw, 896px\" \/><figcaption class=\"blocks-gallery-item__caption\"><em>Port Wine Cave<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:19px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Maybe Port wine isn\u2019t for you, don\u2019t let that stop you from traveling to the Douro Valley for a wine adventure. This UNESCO World Heritage area is one of the oldest wine producing areas in the world and is home to more than 80 types of grapes and the quintas here produces many delicious whites, reds, roses and even green wines. Before traveling to Portugal, I had never heard of green wine but after tasting my first Vinho Verde at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aveleda.com\/en\/wine-tourism\/quinta-da-aveleda\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Quinta da Aveleda<\/a> I was converted. Their delicious sparkling Aveleda Fonte White is light, crisp and refreshing. I was pleasantly surprised by not just the Green but the white, red and rose table wines of the Douro Valley. Since being home my favorite place to pick up these regional favorites is at the Chicago land-based Binny\u2019s stores, they have a great selection and I love sharing my finds with my friends now that the weather is finally warming up.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:19px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Sardines&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Portugal is seafood obsessed and sardines reign supreme. Fresh, tinned, however you enjoy them, you can have them.&nbsp; The legend is that sardines gained their popularity thanks in part to St. Anthony, Patron St. of Lisbon. The story goes, St. Anthony was on expedition and while trying to gain the attention of the locals, he turned to the fish and started preaching, he captured their attention and from then on, the sardines were legendary.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"889\" height=\"670\" src=\"https:\/\/ustoa.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Mayflower5.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4270\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ustoa.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Mayflower5.jpg 889w, https:\/\/ustoa.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Mayflower5-300x226.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ustoa.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Mayflower5-768x579.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 889px) 100vw, 889px\" \/><figcaption><em>Ceramic Sardines<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:8px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Soap&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Soap making is a time-honored tradition in Portugal dating back to Claus Porto the country\u2019s first soap maker in 1887. Since then, the people of Portugal have been producing some of the best soaps in the world and packaging them in the most beautiful wrappings. My favorites include the <a href=\"https:\/\/castelbel.com\/en\/product-category\/portus-cale\/portus-cale-white-crane\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Castelbel White Crane<\/a>. I picked up a bar while shopping in Porto and it was gone almost immediately after I returned home. I haven\u2019t gotten my hands on another bar yet, but I have been keeping my eyes out for one. I have however found quite a few other scents by Castelbels at Homegoods and World Market.

What I found so fascinating was at each Quinta we visited the families each told stories of harvesting the olives by hand with their nets and sticks when the fruit was at the correct ripeness, either green or black. Then sharing for olive oil or eating fresh. Portuguese olives and olive oil are delicious, but they have proven to be the hardest things to find since being home. Luckily for me we live in the age of the internet and there is a wonderful Portuguese market located just outside of Boston. The <a href=\"https:\/\/portugaliamarketplace.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Portugalia Marketplace<\/a> has it all and they ship.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My time spent on the Douro on the Scenic Azure with <a href=\"http:\/\/mayflowercruisesandtours.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Mayflower Cruises &amp; Tours<\/a> was amazing.
