Six Senses Douro Valley
Add canoeing, kayaking and tree climbing to your wine country vacation at Six Senses Douro Valley. The 50-room hotel — which occupies a 19th-century manor house overlooking the UNESCO-designated region — takes a total approach to well-being, including yogic detox programs and an alchemy bar for blending body products. The grape is sovereign here, with a wine library for tastings and an extensive cellar. The Vale de Abraão Restaurant uses produce from the organic garden; enjoy open kitchen, terrace or dining room seating. Discover citrus-based spa treatments and take a river cruise or helicopter tour to fully absorb the Duoro.

The hotel has connections with local, historic wineries where you can play winemaker for the day and, during harvest, take part in the traditional stomping of the grapes.
