About

Quinta do Vallado is located on the banks of the Corgo River, a tributary of the Douro River, right next to its mouth and close to the town of Peso da Régua.

The estate was founded in 1716. Quinta do Vallado belonged to Dona Antonia Adelaide Ferreira, a Portuguese businesswoman known for leadership in the cultivation of port wine and for winemaking innovations. The winery still belongs to her great-great-great grandsons.

Today, Quinta do Vallado develops 65 hectares of vineyards with altitudes ranging between 80 and 400 meters.

The new modern winery built in 2009 is equipped with state-of-the-art technology to produce dry wines (red, white, and rose) and зort wines, and an impressive aging cellar. Quinta do Vallado still uses the traditional foot treading method in granite lagares for some wines.

You can also opt for a private tour and wine tasting, available by appointment. This way you can customize your wine tasting and choose the wines you always wanted to try.

There is a possibility to stay at a beautiful vineyard hotel at Quinta do Vallado. There are 5 rooms in the traditional house and 8 in the modern building. I love their pool surrounded by orange orchard.

If you are travelling from Porto by train, get off at Régua train station. Quinta do Vallado is a short taxi ride away.
