May is a beautiful but busy month in the Douro Valley. The weather is fantastic, and the valley looks amazing. However, it is absolutely packed with tourists, making everything more expensive and harder to book. If you're coming in May, book your wine tour at least 2-3 months ahead and expect to pay peak-season prices. River cruises are great this month due to the perfect weather for being on the water.
