About
Quinta Nova de Nossa Senhora do Carmo, originally founded in 1764, is one of the oldest wine estates in the Douro Valley and has been part of the region’s history since the first official demarcation of the Douro in 1756.
Now spanning 120 hectares of vineyards, the estate has been owned by the Amorim family since 1999, known for their cork empire that helped shape the port wine industry.
Quinta Nova specializes in high-quality dry red and white wines, ranging from the popular Pomares brand to the luxurious Mirabilis.
Adding to its charm, Quinta Nova is the only estate in the Douro with a Wine Museum, where you can explore artifacts of port wine production from the 19th and 20th centuries.

Open for visits and tastings, the estate features a stunning tasting room with panoramic views, where you can savor their wines paired with delicious tapas.

As part of the prestigious Relais & Châteaux network, guests can stay at the charming manor house, built in 1764, and experience the feel of a grand Portuguese family home surrounded by the breathtaking scenery of the Douro Valley.
