Forget the over-the-top wine palaces -
Pacheca The Wine House Hotel e Spa in Portugal’s Douro Valley nails that sweet spot between indulgent and down-to-earth. Here, adults (the age limit is 18 years old) can sip award-winning vintages while watching the sun drop behind rows of vines climbing the steep hillsides.
And the rooms? Some are literally in giant wine barrels with its very own private plunge pool. How cool is that? Add a spa with grape-infused treatments, a restaurant dishing up ridiculously good regional food, and tastings where the port flows freely, and you’ve got a wine escape that’s as fun as it is unforgettable.
