About Winery and Wines

We are Churchill’s – an Anglo-Portuguese port and Douro wine producer. Johnny Graham founded the company back in 1981 to bring a dry style and a fresh vibe to the traditional world of port. Johnny still makes the wine and runs the company today, with help from the next generation. We are now the last remaining independent British port house, and we plan to keep it that way. In addition, we produce a range of innovative Douro terroir wines that capture the spirit of the region and our beloved vineyard Quinta da Gricha. Feel the pace and simplicity of life amongst the vines. Learn about viticulture and winemaking in personalized tours and tastings. Enjoy Churchill’s award-winning wines while relaxing by the infinity pool or gazing out at the valley from our panoramic terrace

Down-river and up-the-mountain from the tourist trails, Gricha Vineyard House embodies the spirit of the Douro: breath-taking vistas, warm community, and wine and winemaking at its centre. At Gricha, our guests, much like our team of farmers, viticulturists, and enologists, know that great experiences take time and a bit of effort – and so they brave the windy road, look beyond the first hill, and embrace the quiet solitude of vineyard life — whether with a glass of wine, a dip in the pool, or a traditional meal in our idyllic orange grove.
