Quinta da Vacaria - Tour & Soul Tasting

Located on the south bank of the Douro River, Quinta da Vacaria is one of the region’s oldest estates, with roots dating back to 1616. This centuries-old legacy, once owned by the Society of Jesus, has now been reborn as a luxury destination that blends historical heritage with contemporary architecture. Amidst vineyards and olive groves, the winery houses a state-of-the-art Interpretive Center, where the culture of winemaking is brought to life through interactive technology, offering a breathtaking view of the river.

The Soul Tasting was designed for those who value the purity and identity of each grape variety. After exploring the winery and the secrets of winemaking, the palate is challenged by a tasting focused on the aromas, textures, and unique personalities of wines produced as blends and as single-varietal wines. Each sip reveals the unfiltered character of the Reserva Branco, Viosinho, Rabigato, and Gouveio, and the tasting can be complemented by a rustic platter of local flavors that intensifies this journey through the essence of the vineyard.

In this tasting, each wine reveals its true character, offering a sensory journey through the essence of the vineyard.
