Douro Big Vineyards
An Experience crafted for the connoisseurs. Throughout the day we will tour three big producers and taste their products.
The First – Vintage tasting
Quinta do Bomfim is a historical property, with fields and terraces dating back to the 18th and 19th centuries. It’s been in the Symington family for 5 generations and, in this vineyard, was produced the only Porto Wine to be considered by the Wine Spectator magazine as the Best wine in the world – the Dow’s Vintage 2011. At this estate, we will taste the Best Ruby Portos - a Vintage Porto Tasting!
The Second – Wine-paired lunch
The next stop is Quinta do Ventozelo. This vineyard started out as a small village, more than 1000 years ago, but its purchase and subsequent renovations in 2013 by the Gran Cruz unearthed traces of Roman occupation, nearly 2000 years ago. We will visit the Museum of the property, followed by a lunch at the vineyard’s restaurant “Cantina” where food will be paired with their wines.
The Third – The old Tawnies
Lastly, we will visit Quinta do Seixo, the flagship estate belonging to the Sandeman brand. This Estate is considered to produce the best Tawny Porto wines in the Valley. Here we will taste their 10-, 20-, and 40-Year Tawnies.
