The beautiful parish of Penajóia, a pearl embedded in the spot of the Douro Wine Region classified as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 2001, is only 07 kilometers from the city of Peso da Régua, «International City of Wine and Vineyard», 11 kilometers from Lamego , the city-museum of the region and 34 kilometers from Vila Real, the apex of this Douro geographic and cultural triangle. Terraced landscapes designed on fertile slopes kissed by the sun where the best grape varieties thrive on a schist stone soil thanks to the Mediterranean microclimate of hot summers and harsh winters.
