After staying in Porto for 5 days, we will be heading to Duoro for another 4. Any recommendations for lodging there and/or wineries/attractions you would recommend?
Thank you!

We stayed at a BnB in Douro, which is a working winery. Highly recommend https://www.quintadotedo.com/
In Porto we stayed close to the cathedral and the Sao Bento train station. LOVED the BnB https://www.natravessa.com/

On our RS tour of Portugal last year, we slept one night at the luxurious Lamego for Life hotel in Lamego, Duoro valley. It was pretty spectacular. About a 15-20 minute walk into the town area. Good town, restaurants, etc and has a grand staircase that leads up to a church at the far end of town. Something to consider for 1-2 nights.

Experienced Duoro Valley travelers: We'll be coming from Lisbon for several days. By train? Uber? Private hire? Anything BUT driving ourselves. Can anyone help? Also looking for gorgeous agriturismo/hotel/resort for a splurge. Any suggestions?.

The church CollinsDtc is referring to is Santuário de Nossa Senhora dos Remédios and the grand staircase consists of 600 stairs broken up by platforms where one can take a break. The platforms all have those blue tiles depicting different religious events. The chapel is small but one gets a good view from it.
