Sofia and Daniel chose harvest week in the Douro, the busiest week of the year at every quinta in the valley. We booked boats, rooms and drivers a year ahead.
The place
A quinta above the river with terraces of vines, a tasting room for the rain plan and a jetty for the boat on Sunday.
The day
The forecast said rain from four. It held off until the cake was cut at ten past eleven, and the band moved inside without stopping the song.
