QUINTA DA VACARIA

Discover Quinta da Vacaria, one of the oldest estates in the Douro.

Port and Douro wines full of identity, crafted with tradition and innovation since 1616.

With deep roots in the heart of the Douro, Quinta da Vacaria is one of the region’s oldest wine estates. Its history officially dates back to 1616, although winemaking on the estate surely predates this. Since then, each generation has upheld a unique legacy, where tradition walks hand in hand with innovation.

In the 18th century, the estate expanded its vineyards and refined viticulture and winemaking techniques—a crucial step in establishing its reputation as a producer of exceptional Port wines. It’s noteworthy that in 1756, the Douro became the world’s first demarcated and regulated wine region.

Some of the Port wines left by earlier generations are now true enological treasures, preserved with reverence. A rare collection that honors history and enriches Quinta da Vacaria’s present.

A new winery, designed to blend harmoniously with the Douro landscape, combines cutting-edge technology with the region’s ancient wisdom. The result? Vibrant wines, full of identity and authenticity: full-bodied reds, whites with great aromatic intensity, seductive rosés, and Ports with soul and memory.
