About Winery and Wines

Situated on the Favaios plateau in the Douro region, Quinta da Faisca offers immersive wine experiences including tastings, wine classes, and guided visits to the cellars and wineries, often accompanied by meals that celebrate the local culinary tradition. The property has been remodeled and expanded under the direction of architect Carlos Castanheira, with the aim of not only producing exceptional wines but also providing guests with a sensory journey.

The tour takes visitors through the grape reception area and into the innovative spaces of the winemaking and barrel cellars, offering insights into every stage of the wine production process. The experience is designed to engage the senses — sight, smell, and taste — as guests learn about the transformation of grapes into wine. The visit concludes with a tasting of various wines, paired with olive oil and local Douro olives, enjoyed on a veranda that overlooks the stunning hills and valleys descending to the Douro River. The landscape alone promises to make the experience truly memorable.

Quinta da Faisca also features a selection of wines from regions such as Douro, Lacrau, Secret Spot, Trás-os-Montes, Vinho Verde, Quinta do Cruzeiro, and Sousa Lopes, showcasing the diversity of wine production across northern Portugal.

The wines produced at Adega da Quinta da Faísca under the Secret Spot Wines label are a true expression of the Douro region's indigenous grape varieties. These varieties are carefully cultivated to capture the essence of the terroir, bringing freshness, aromatic complexity, and richness to the wines. Visitors are invited to explore the winery and gain insight into the cultivation and winemaking processes while indulging in the diverse flavors and qualities of the wines produced at this unique estate.
