About
Located approximately 200 km from Porto, near Pocinho, Quinta do Vale Meão is a destination that should not be missed, particularly for its renowned wines. The estate holds a significant history, having been purchased and developed by the astute businesswoman Dona Antonia Adelaide Ferreira in 1877.
Remaining in the Ferreira family for many years, it wasn’t until 1994 when Francisco Ozabal, a great-great-grandson of Dona Antonia, acquired the property. Initially, the estate focused on grape production for Barca Velha, Portugal’s most famous red wine. However, since 1999, Quinta do Vale Meão has independently produced both ports and Douro dry wines, successfully establishing itself as one of Portugal’s leading wineries.
Visits
The winery offers visits of the winery with tastings of 4 or 5 wines (1 hour) as well as tour of the their vineyards in a 4 x 4 vehicle and a tasting (2 hours). All experiences include a light snack.
