History of Six Senses Douro Valley

The region known today as Six Senses Douro Valley was originally occupied by Celtic tribes during ancient times. In medieval times, it became one of Portugal's most important wine regions, producing fine port wines from native grapes such as Castelão, Trincadeira, and Arinto. During the 18th century, many of the area's vineyards were destroyed during wars between Portugal and Spain. However, in recent years the vineyards have been replanted and are now flourishing again. To reflect this history, Six Senses has incorporated traditional Portuguese architecture into their design principles, with tiled roofs evoking a sense of heritage and timelessness that visitors can appreciate when they stay at this remarkable place.
