There is not any document that allows us to retrace the history of the House of Carrafouchas, built at the beginning of the century there. XVIII. Its history only prays to stay there Junot. On April 8, 1879, the property is purchased by the Marquis of Valada Joaquim Franco Cannas, remaining in their family until the present. She currently belongs to Maria Veneranda Cannas da Silva Henriques. This sun is a beautiful example of the construction we can find both the North and the South of Portugal. In this type of house constructed according to a frontal view, the facade carefully designed develops in the length direction. The three distinct elements, consisting of the chapel, the residence and the wall of the courtyard, enclosed by an armored hatch, there are integrated in the same set. The chapels are generally just put in evidence during the first half of the eighteenth century, just occupying the edge of the facade. Is this the case, since the chapel is right subordinated to the cornice located in the extension of the house, only distinguishing it by a small bell and a pediment worked. Its façade, on which is inscribed the date of 1714, has the sobriety of the previous century, as exemplified by the residential part, punctuated by wide pilasters and the alignment of the windows of balconies with a cornice. The huge wall, with its armored portal, which gives access to the courtyard, is extended by the wall of attachments.

The history of Caves Velhas can be traced back to Adegas Camillo Alves, S.A., which dates back to the 19th century, in 1881, when João Camillo Alves began his wine trade. He began by selling wines produced in the famous wine-growing region of Bucelas, an area of excellence for the production of white wine, much appreciated not only in Portugal but throughout the world. The descendants of João Camillo Alves joined the company in the mid-20th century, expanded the business and created Caves Velhas, making the company one of the most important in the market. The brand is an umbrella for Romeira, from the Lisbon region, Bucellas, from the Bucelas sub-region and Catedral, from the Dão region.

Located in the heart of Bucelas, between the banks of the Ribeira do Boição and the River Trancão, it is part of the Bucelas Demarcated Region, the only one in Portugal that distinguishes only Doc Brancos. Quinta do Boição covers an area of just 45 hectares, where the Arinto grape variety predominates. Sustainable, environmentally friendly agriculture is practised, with non-irrigated vineyards, natural humidification, manual agricultural practices such as harvesting, pruning, hilling and integrated production. Characterised by an Atlantic-influenced microclimate, the soils are clay-limestone, which are some of the features that make Quinta do Boção so exclusive and unique, contributing to exceptional wines.
