Nice quinta with interesting tour by cozy guide with lots of knowledge! - Upon arrival we were immediately super enthusiastically received by Carlos, the guide. He immediately showed us around and explained what the intention was. We were first given a tour of the vineyard and Carlos meanwhile explained a lot about keeping organic vineyards. We already had quite a bit of knowledge through previous tours but have learned a lot of new things! Then we had the tasting with beautiful views! We got a white wine, 2 red wines and a port. Especially the port we found delicious. It was certainly not inferior to the port of the big brands. We also got fresh bread with their homemade delicious olive oil. 😋 There was a lot of room to ask questions and to all questions we got a super comprehensive and fun answer. We deliberately chose a smaller quinta and during this tour it was confirmed that it was the right choice. It was very cozy and cozy. As far as we are concerned, highly recommended!

AMAZING ***** star tasting! - This is really a 5 star tasting. Our guide Luis learned us a lot about the organic Douro wine making proces. Small group of 8 people. We tasted 3 wines, 1 port, olive oil and a lot of bread. The only thing that could be better is when you arrive by car it is not clear where to park....you can easily park outside the gate on the street.

Very nice small wine / port farm - Very nice wine tasting! Only a few years left, but José and his team are very welcoming! We had the “simple” tour with tasty young wines and good postage. And the olive oil is also great! There was a more extensive version with food, which really looked very good.

What the Douro has of the best - Place with spectacular views, as well as food, wines and guides! José did an excellent job in accompanying our table. It is a recent project with a lot of potential!
