I’m busy filming in the Douro this weekend. It’s harvest time and looking as beautiful as ever. Just time to post a few pictures from yesterday at Quinta do Crasto, and then it’s time to drive to Vale Meao (we stayed overnight in the lovely hotel at Vallado).

Jamie,
A few nights ago we had a 2005 Quinta do Crasto Reserva. The wine is lovely, a super bargain, and your pictures lend context to the experience.
I have been lucky enough to visit Quinta do Vale Meao and Vallado but not Crasto. It was a few years ago now – I am getting the urge to visit the Douro again!!
