A tour that really gets you to know the whole process of making the Moscatel from Douro. A great and entertaining guide that takes you through the factory and tells you how the grapes are selected, what is the difference between the Moscatel and the Porto wine, you get to see how the bottles are labeled and the wine being poured into them, and it culminates with a very good and rich Moscatel tasting!

This Quinta is amazing! We heard of it through the hostess of our AirBNB. It is a bit off the National 222 so less visited, but it's really worth the trip. We were kindly greeted by one of the young members of the family who run this winery. She took the time to explain the process of vinification of the Douro wines and port wines. The views from up there are absolutely breathtaking, some of the best we have seen in the Douro Valley. Our guide walked us around and showed us some of their olive trees, which produce a divine olive oil (really worth it!) And what about the tasting! We liked every single product that she made us try. Because of the custom regulations, we had to make some choices. Or else we would have bought much more bottles! There are numerous Quintas in the Douro Valley, many of them are more commercial and do mass production. This Quinta really stands out, we see that this family cares about what they do. We strongly recommend you to encourage this smaller producer who offers quality wines.

This will be your favorite stop in Douro. Amazing wine tasting at a family owned boutique winery with knowledgeable staff (thank you Eric!), breathtaking views, delicious and reasonably priced wines done in traditional method. The winery offers a range port and standard wines, giving you the chance to taste a range of possibilities from Duoro. The drive to the top of the hill where Quinta do Beijo is located, is very picturesque and exactly the type of imagery that will stay with you long after your trip to Duoro finishes. Eric, our host, has worked in wine in New Zealand, and grew up in the wine business in California and has been working with Portuguese wines for some time. He is very knowledgeable and can go as technical as you would like or keep it light and fun. We really enjoyed hearing about his perspective on the Portuguese wine industry. He was an excellent host. We also enjoyed the wine. The whites were aromatic, acidic, very approachable. The ports were a highlight as well, especially the aged ones. Seeing how the winery still practices traditional methods of crushing grapes with your feet during harvest, was very special. As a former wine importer, I look for quality in the wine, stories, passion, uniqueness, pride in the product and traditions, a sense of place and purpose and I found this at Quinta do Beijo. This would be a memorable tour, especially if you have Eric as your guide.

Quinta da Fonte do Milho has a Tasting Room and shop just outside the Quinta, located along the road that connects Pinhão to Sabrosa. This tasting room has a fantastic location, right inside the vineyards of the Quinta, where it is possible to taste our wines, olive oils and olive paste, and at the same time feel and see the atmosphere lived in the Douro vineyards, which depending on the At this time of year it is possible to taste the grapes directly from the vines, see the vines bursting the flower or simply enjoy the fantastic fall colors that our vineyards transform into. For wine tasting (white, red and rosé) we always put traditional products of the region to accompany, from small sweets as well as traditional savory from our region. For the proof of our olive oil and olive paste, we do not dispense with bread baked in wood ovens in the village bakery. The tests are always held in a relaxed and welcoming environment.
