About the Winery

Churchill's is a distinguished family-run port and Douro wine producer with roots in Vila Nova da Gaia and the Douro Valley.

Founded in 1981 by Johnny Graham, Churchill's emerged from a blend of deep tradition and a modern vision. The winery has built a world-class reputation for its vintage, ruby, and wood-aged ports, alongside Douro terroir wines that capture the essence of the region and the spirit of Quinta da Gricha. Johnny Graham continues to oversee production, with the next generation now contributing to the legacy. As the last independent British port house, Churchill's remains committed to crafting wines that are deeply personal and aligned with nature. The philosophy centers on celebrating life's moments through the enjoyment of fine wines while maintaining a dedication to sustainability and integrity in every bottle.

About the Wines

Churchill's wines are crafted with a focus on elegance, prioritizing natural acidity and freshness. The winemaking process involves minimal intervention, allowing the true character of the grapes to shine through. Only the finest Grade A grapes are used, ensuring that each bottle reflects the highest quality. Churchill's philosophy emphasizes that less is more, and the beauty of nature should be elevated without interference. This approach results in wines that are pure, expressive, and a true reflection of the Douro region's terroir.

Churchill’s port

Everything was perfect. It was my last activity in Porto and I never regret it. They explained the history and process in detail. All the wines I tasted was great.

Schöne kurzweilige Weinprobe

Wir haben das Winetasting bei Churchills an einem verregneten Nachmittag gebucht. Die Tour und auch die Erklärungen zu den Weinen waren sehr interessant.
Bitte beachtet dass Ihr hier „normalen“ Wein probiert. Es gab lediglich zum Schluss ein kleines Gläschen Portwein zum tasten. Dennoch würden wir das Tasting jederzeit wieder buchen.

Une experience exceptionnelle

Nous avions choisi les caves Churchill pour éviter les lieux trop touristiques et nous n'avons pas été déçus !
Arrivés 1 heure trop tôt du fait d'un bug de réservation, nous avons été formidablement accueillis et avons eu droit à une visite et une dégustation privées. Les vins du Douro et un Porto.
Beaucoup de gentillesse et des explications très intéressantes, un anglais adapté à notre niveau ... encore un grand merci pour cet excellent souvenir. Bon à savoir les Porto Churchill se trouvent au Duty free de l'aéroport ce qui nous a permis d'en emmener avec nous. Christophe

Hoped to book direct with Churchills port house (as would have been better and cheaper), but my query taken over by the winedering website which offered fewer options and led to me ordering the wrong visit! Wine tasting instead of Port. Managed to sort with Churchills on the day but overpaid for what we had and left feeling really stupid. Good visit and will be aware not to be misled by these third party companies
Book direct with the wine/port producers
