About

Set on the South Bank of the River Douro between the city of Régua and the village of Pinhão, Quinta do Seixo, with its 100 hectares of vineyards is one of the most traditional wine-producing estates in the Douro Valley.

The original house and the chapel of Quinta do Seixo date back to the 18th century.

A state-of-the-art winery built in 2007 was constructed as a series of terraces that follow the slope of the hillside, perfectly integrated into the Douro landscape. From the tasting room of Quinta do Seixo opens a fantastic view of the Douro river and the picturesque village of Pinhão. This is one of the best views you can find in the Douro Valley.

Quinta do Seixo is part of the Sogrape consortium which also owns Portuguese wine brands Mateus, Barca-Velha, Sandeman and the Spanish brand LAN.

Visits

You will be greeted Sandeman Don, the mysterious figure with a Portuguese student’s cape and a Jerez sombrero, a symbol of Sandeman Port designed by Scotsman George Massiot Brown in 1928. Sandeman Don will lead you through the quinta, the historic building and the modern installations of the winery.

Quinta do Seixo offers classic visits and tastings of Port wines. You can also choose a tasting of Douro DOC Wines from the emblematic Douro brand Casa Ferreirinha.

Quinta do Seixo is now a home to a new gastronomic restaurant Seixo by a Michelin-star chef Vasco Coelho Santos.
