Tasting & Tour @ Quinta Dos Avidagos- Knowledgable, Friendly and Fun

5/1/23
We booked the day before and arrived on time for our tasting appointment. We were given a short tour around this traditional Quinta that dates back to the beginning of winemaking in the Douro region, with our guide explaining the production process, from picking through to bottling, and the differences between the various varietals they used and the different types of wine they produce. Our guide was knowledgable and friendly, and he answered all our questions. After the tour we went into their very nice tasting room which had great views over the vines. The tasting went through six wines and included two whites, two rosés and two reds. The prices seemed reasonable and we bought a couple of bottles to bring home. Very enjoyable visit!

About Winery and Wines

The first Quinta, or estate, has been in the family since 1670. Today 3 quintas are totalling 48 hectares: Firvida and Além Tanha, Avidagos, and Varanda. Traditionally, the grapes were sold to the Port Wine houses but from 1996, the first trials began with our own production at Quinta dos Avidagos. The Firvida and Varanda Quintas were already included in the map of the wine-producing country drawn by Baron de Forrester in the nineteenth century. In 1999, a winery was built using the latest technological advances, enabling the production of high quality wines. At the same time, the old Port Wine warehouse was remodelled and came to be the place where the barrels are aged.

Quinta dos Avidagos now has a wide range that includes Avidagos White, Rosé and Red, Quinta dos Avidagos Reserve White, Rosé and Red, Quinta dos Avidagos Reserve White 100% Arinto, Quinta do Além Tanha Red, MesmoTinto, ExTinto, QuaseTinto, Quinta dos Avidagos Lenuma Red, Quinta dos Avidagos Grand Reserve Red and white. We have Port Wine too. Indigenous grape varieties, such as Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, Alvarelhão and Tinta Roriz for the reds and the Gouveio, Rabigato, Arinto or Viosinho for the whites, allow us to achieve all the personality and character of the “terroirs” of the Douro.
