Quinta da Padrela

Reviewed By keithstanford - Milton Keynes, United Kingdom

Firstly I would like to thank Teresa, Pedro and Jose for our wonderful time on their farm, Pedro and Jose greeted us with all the info we needed for the house and the local area. The pool was clean, a good size with plenty of shady spots, a great view of the vineyard and all ours for the duration of our stay. The nearby villages of Barcos and Tabuaço are a short drive away when we needed to buy provisions but other than that we stayed on the farm and enjoyed the tranquility. Two things that kept us from going anywhere were the winery tour followed by tasting which was an education and enjoyable, then in the evening we ate a delicious traditional four course meal prepared by mama and papa who despite the language barrier were also very heartfelt and destinguished hosts. One thing I regret is that I didn't learn some Portuguese, that would have been the cherry on top. By the way, the drive from Porto through the Douro region was beautiful and set us up for what was to come.

Quinta do Monte Travesso has been in the Napoles de Carvalho family for five generations, ever since the founder of Casa do Douro, the great-great-great-grandfather of the present owners offered this beautiful estate to his daughter as a wedding gift. It was at that time that the present vineyards were planted and wines were first elaborated,in the same cellars where the wines are still vinified.

Quinta do Popa

"Each man has their dream" Luis Pato The dream of the son of Francisco Ferreira (Popa) was held by acquiring a vineyard in Douro, in one of the best locations in the oldest wine region in the world, in which reside all his childhood memories. After its purchase, in 2003, at the time named as "Quinta do Vidiedo", led all his economic effort, dedication and perseverance adding small parcels, mostly old vineyards and others for planting new vineyards and groves, equally blessed by a soil quality and raised in terraces under the splendor of the Douro river. In 2008 this dreamer, with the support of his family and the oenologist Luis Pato, start a new cycle and pays tribute to his deceased father baptizing the vineyard with his nickname "Popa",attributed by his friends due to the liveliness and happiness which he led the life against the difficulties. Today, the Quinta do Popa comprises 14 hectares of vineyard composed of a mixture of noble grape varieties, all with the letter A, among them Tinta Roriz, followed by Touriga Franca, Tinto Cao, Sousao and Malvasia Preta with emphasis in large percentage of Touriga Nacional, apart from three hectares of old vineyards aged over 60 years of age. A project based on a family structure that connects different generations, which is reflected in the actual production process, in which reconcile the most sophisticated techniques with centuries of strict tradition, such as the vinification through foot treading in granite mills with conditions of temperature control, and in building a brand with personality and quality, created by its history and the harmonious marriage between the earth and its atmosphere that terroir has to offer.

Superb quinta with spectacular views & outstanding hospitality! We spent a happy 3 hours here yesterday tasting their wines, enjoying a delicious vineyard platter & soaking in the stunning views. Ana our host was very informative, professional & super sweet to our little puppy. We loved that it is dog friendly & has some of the best wines in the Douro Valley. Also, excellent vintage ports. Highly recommend!!

Quinta do Seixo - Sandeman

We spent a few hours in this enchanting location. Firstly the guided tour of the cellars, then the wine tasting followed by a private picnic in the vineyard. Definitely a worthy experience.
