Quinta da Vacaria - Tour & Roots 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. Nestled among 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 breathtaking views of the river.

The ROOTS experience offers a deep immersion into the identity of this terroir, beginning with an exciting buggy ride through the rugged vineyards. After exploring the winery and the secrets of winemaking, the palate is treated to an exclusive tasting of six wines, including fresh whites, structured reds, and a memorable 30-year-old Tawny. Each sip reveals the elegance of the Douro grape varieties and can be complemented by a platter of local flavors that intensifies this unique sensory journey.

A sensory experience that connects tradition, terroir, and authenticity in every glass.
