Vallegre – Vinhos do Porto

Vallegre – Vinhos do Porto, S.A., is a Portuguese company whose shareholders represent the fifth generation of a family deeply rooted in the Douro region, and which is dedicated to the production of high quality Port Wines and Douro DOC table wines.

It is based at Quinta da Vista Alegre, on the right bank of the Douro river, between the mouth of the river Pinhão and Covas do Douro.

Quinta da Vista Alegre was acquired by the Cunha Barros family in 1965, and incorporated into the Sociedade Agrícola Barros, S.A. Later, in May 1998, the company changed its name to Vallegre – Vinhos do Porto, S.A., resulting from the merging of the names of two of its most important Quintas – Valle Longo and Vista Alegre.

Nowadays, and without ignoring its past and the knowledge acquired and passed down through generations, Vallegre is a dynamic, modern company, that mantains tbe production of the highest quality Port Wines and Douro Doc table wines as its primary aim.
