Abstract

The territory is formed by a set of elements, initiatives and relations that mark the relation society and nature. In this sense, there are several territories, among them the wine-growing territories, whose vineyard and wine are the central points of the territorial articulation. In the territory of Douro Wine, Douro Demarcated Region, northern Portugal, winemaking is part of history, landscape, culture and economy. However, in order to maintain the local development of this territory, collective actions are carried out, focusing on local valorization, strengthening tourism, especially wine, wine innovation and creating new commercial opportunities for local products. Thus, this paper discusses the territory and rural development, specifically addressing the role of associations working in the Douro Territory in search of local development.
