The mere mention of Quinta do Vesúvio to those who have visited evokes its timeless beauty and grandeur. A unique estate and iconic landmark of one of the world’s most renowned wine regions – the Douro Valley.
The property and the landscape that surrounds it have stood hand in hand since the early 19th century and its recorded history dates to 1565. Wine production at the property started in 1823 with the ambitious planting of 150 hectares of vineyards and the construction of its winery in 1827.
Since then, Vesúvio’s port has been considered among the very best in the Douro region, a fitting reputation given it was one of the first estates to bottle its own ports under the property’s name.
