You'll likely get your fill of port wine while you're in Porto, but if you'd like to sample some excellent red and white Portuguese wines, you should consider paying a visit to the Vinho Verde Province in the country's far north. It's the largest wine region in Portugal, and many of the vineyards welcome visitors to tour their properties, taste their wines, and perhaps even participate in the harvest if it's the right season. When it's time for lunch, it's worth stopping in the charming town of Melgaço to enjoy some locally made smoked sausage. Vinho Verde Province
