HOST DOURO
September 14–15, 2025
LAMEGO, DOURO

HOST
DOURO

HOST Douro is more than a symposium — it’s a commitment to a new kind of hospitality: more human, more conscious, and ready to question and rethink paradigms.

Tomorrow’s
Harvest

For everyone who believes that hospitality can shape the future. In the heart of the Douro Valley — a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the most iconic wine landscapes on the planet — HOST Douro is born.

HOST Douro is not made of distant stages or rehearsed speeches. It is made of shared tables, honest ideas, and voices that understand the weight — and the beauty — of working with people, for people.

We bring together those who live hospitality as both a calling and a challenge. Professionals who want to build a more fair, sustainable, and future-ready industry.
