Quinta de la Rosa is one of Douro’s best-known wine producers for good reason. If you can only make it to one winery in the Douro this is the one that I would recommend.
Quinta da Pacheca has a beautiful location and some fantastic whites. We were able to enjoy our tasting sitting outside on the lovely terrace at Pacheca.
Quinta do Seixo is located at the top of a hill with a very windy drive – but the views are stunning. Its 100 hectares are located between the cities of Regua and Pinhao.
Casa Amarala is one of the oldest Quintas in the Douro Valley and is still owned by the same family. It has a cozy, more traditional style tasting room area with wooden bars.
Dirk Niepoort is known as one of the most exciting winemakers in the Douro Valley. Alas, his vineyard in the Douro Valley did not have a tasting room when I visited.
