About Winery and Wines

Although the Quevedo Family has been producing Port Wine for more than 5 generations, the actual company was only founded in 1993. This makes us one of the most recent Port Wine Houses from the Douro. With less than 30 years of existence, we feel we are at the beginning of our journey and every day is a fresh page added to what we like to do most: explore all the ways wines can be enjoyed.

We are proud to be able to share our wines & passion directly with our visitors & friends in Vila Nova de Gaia! Visit our lodge and enjoy our Port and Douro wines and much more! You can choose among our pre-set wine tastings or directly pick your favorite and try it by the glass. If you dare to go for a wider gastronomic experience, we recommend you to try the Port & Chocolate or the Port & Cheese pairings. If you only want something to go along with a nice time with your friends, savor our snacks and cocktails!

The impressive building dates back 200 years and it has a close relation to the Port Wine world. It was originally used as a cooperage that manufactured barrels and casks for the Port houses in Vila Nova de Gaia. In the 1950s, with the increasing usage of stainless steel vats, the business was turned into a wooden box manufacturer (boxes which were used to contain Port bottles), until the ‘90s, when it was transformed into a Port wine tasting room.

Finally, we acquired this lodge in 2020 to be able to share our wines and passion directly with our guests in Vila Nova de Gaia.

It doesn’t matter how well you work the grapes at the winery unless the origin of the grapes is the best. The most important legacy that we received from our ancestors was the learning that wine is made in the vineyard. For this reason, we cultivate 100 hectares of vineyards, plus 25 hectares of organic olive groves, across five properties in the Douro valley, from the sub-regions of Cima Corgo. This diversity provides grapes of varying aromas and flavors that help us craft distinct wines and make some exciting experiences along the way.

Our ancestors’ passion for viticulture and the respect for the land that surrounds us lead us every day to build a sustainable legacy for the next generations. In 2005 our organic olive grove was planted. Vineyards followed in 2013 and every year we keep progressively increasing the organic area while we work to diminish the impact on the rest of the properties by using more sophisticated equipment that helps reduce the use of artificial elements.
