Nowadays one of the purposes of Portugal is identifying and exploring the art of living together. More and more sharing different cultures with storying telling is our main purpose. Culture and heritage are often the reason for travel associated to storying telling. In the north of Portugal, there is a famous river - DOURO. The Douro landscape reflects its ancient and deep connection with the culture of wine, creating a picture of Man and Nature working side by side in search of the perfect wine. As this conference aims, the culture is the entangling web of symbols, sounds, rituals, rites and practices by which we become persons and by which we can grow. Lifestyle typically reflects: an individual's attitude, a way of life, values, stories or world view. During the Roman period, particularly following the 1st century A.D., the wine culture advanced rapidly, leaving traces of stone tanks and wine cellars in various archaeological sites in the region. The Douro wines have ancient roots and they have evolved over many years into this liquid delicacy that nowadays delights our taste buds. Drinking a glass of Port Wine is like drinking a glass of history itself, the history of this region governed by wine. A Valley full of history…and stories!!
