Spend a harvest day at Quinta do Vallado in the Douro, between the vineyard, the winery, and the traditional lagar, lunch included.
Quinta do Vallado, in Vilarinho dos Freires, Peso da Régua, is one of the historic estates of the Douro and keeps, alongside a modern winery, the granite lagares where grapes are still trodden by foot. During the harvest, it opens its doors to those who want to experience the most intense season of the wine year at first hand.
Alongside the estate team, you spend the morning in the vineyard, learn to recognize when the grapes are ripe, and take part in the picking. You then follow the grapes to the winery and join the treading in the traditional lagar, the gesture that still shapes Douro wines.
The day ends around the table, with a traditional harvest lunch in a festive atmosphere, as it has always been in the Douro at the end of a day's work in the vineyard.
An authentic experience, in one of the most beautiful valleys in the region, for those who want to know the Douro from the inside rather than simply visit it. Book your place at the next harvest at Quinta do Vallado.
