Where is the Douro Valley?

In northern Portugal, along the Douro River upstream from Porto. Its terraced vineyards make port wine, and the Alto Douro Wine Region has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2001.

A wine estate in the Douro Valley, usually with a stone manor house, cellars and often a small chapel among its vineyards.

Is this a good gift for a wine lover?

Yes. It is a gift-boxed crystal keepsake of Portugal's port wine country, made to hang on the tree year after year.

For the wine lover on your list. The Douro Valley in fine engraved line: terraced vineyards contouring every hill, a stone quinta with its cellar and little chapel above the river, dark cypresses, and a rabelo boat under sail. A gift for anyone who loves port, has toured the valley, or simply dreams of wine country.

The Douro is one of the oldest demarcated wine regions in the world; its boundaries were first drawn in 1756. Over the centuries growers cut the steep schist hillsides into thousands of stone-walled terraces, and in 2001 the Alto Douro Wine Region was named a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Every autumn the grapes are picked by hand on the terraces, and for generations the new wine went downriver on rabelo boats to the port lodges in Vila Nova de Gaia, across from Porto. The quintas, the wine estates of the valley, still keep their old stone houses, cellars and chapels.

For wine lovers, port lovers and anyone who has toasted the holidays with a glass from the Douro.

The drawing is our own, in fine line work with soft washes of vine green, terracotta and river blue, and a few clusters of red grapes among the leaves. It is set in a three-inch faceted crystal round, white-backed so the color stays bright against a lit tree or a window, and comes in a white or gold gift box.

Product FAQs

How does your sizing work?

Every item is made to order, so please check the size chart on this page before you buy. Women's fitted tees run small; size up for a looser fit. Caps are one size with an adjustable strap.

How are items made and when will they arrive?

We make each item to order using premium blanks, embroidery and soft-hand prints. Production takes 2-5 business days (weekends and holidays excluded), then 4-10 days in transit via USPS, UPS or FedEx to U.S. addresses; most orders arrive within 6-15 business days. You'll get a tracking link the moment it ships. Any current shipping offer is shown in the bar at the top of every page and applies automatically at checkout, no code needed.

How do I send a gift?

Enter the recipient's address as the shipping address and your own as the billing address at checkout. Nothing ships with a price; the package includes a plain packing slip. Tracking goes to your email, not theirs. For birthdays and holidays, order two weeks ahead to be safe.

What's the return policy?

Made-to-order items can't be returned or exchanged for size or color, so please use the size chart and photos before ordering. If anything arrives defective, misprinted or damaged, send a photo and your order number within 30 days and we'll replace it or refund you.

How do I care for my item?

Apparel: wash cold, inside out, with like colors; no bleach; tumble dry low or hang dry. Embroidered pieces: iron inside out to protect the stitching. Caps: spot clean. Printed glasses and water bottles: hand wash only, no dishwasher, so the artwork lasts. Mugs and engraved glasses are dishwasher safe. Any item-specific care notes are in the description above.
