Private transfer from the airport to Quinta Do Vallado

Check in at Quinta do Vallado Wine Hotel“QUINTA DO VALLADO, ESTABLISHED IN 1716, IS ONE OF THE OLDEST AND MOST FAMOUS"QUINTAS" IN THE DOURO VALLEY...“

THE ESTATE - TRADITION

Quinta do Vallado, established in 1716, is one of the oldest and most famous "Quintas" in the Douro

Valley.

It once belonged to the legendary Dona Antónia Adelaide Ferreira, and still belongs to her

descendents. It lies on both banks of the Corgo River, a tributary of the Douro river, near its mouth,

close to the town of Peso da Régua.

For almost 200 years, Quinta do Vallado´s main activity was the production of Porto wines, that were

commercialized by the Ferreira Port House (belonging to the Ferreira family).

Following Dona Antónia Adelaide Ferreira´s great achievement, her great-grandson Jorge Viterbo

Ferreira, and his son Jorge Cabral Ferreira were the main architects of the further development of the

Quinta's vineyards and winery.

THE ESTATE - MODERN TIMES

Moving from the centuries-old tradition of selling the farm´s production to the Ferreira Portwine House,

in 1993, under the direction of Guilherme Álvares Ribeiro and his wife Maria Antónia Ferreira, the

company decided to extend the business towards the production, bottling and marketing of own-label

wines.

Also in 1993 under the guidance of Prof. Nuno Magalhães, a deep restructuring of the vineyards was

started, with the goal of increasing the production of high quality grape varieties.

These new vineyards were planted with the best varieties in single plots, breaking with the old tradition

of planting many different varieties in the same vineyard.

The homogenization of treatment, ripening and picking times resulted in dramatic improvements to all

harvesting and vinification processes, and translated into a much more regular, easy to control and

economically efficient quality production.

One of the methods introduced was to implement a general preliminary survey of the crop. This allows

to prune out surplus clusters from some of the high-producing varieties, while still green, greatly

enhancing the quality and the richness of the remaining grapes.

With 50 ha of vineyards aged from 6 to 15 years and having kept 20 ha of the best old plots, some

more than 90 years old, Quinta do Vallado, and it's executives João Ferreira Álvares Ribeiro,

Francisco Ferreira (head of agricultural management) and Francisco Olazabal (oenologist), all

descendants of Dona Antónia, has achieved internationally acclaimed levels of quality and recognition.

The construction of the new winery and barriques cellar started in 2008 and was concluded in the fall

of 2009. It combines state of the art technology with a high quality architecture project, making it one

of the must-see places in the Douro valley.

The price includes breakfast, a wine tasting, fruit and a bottle of wine in the room, bikes and fishing

equipments.

We offer a visit and tasting exclusively to our guests at 5:00pm everyday, starting in our Wine Shop.
