Quinta Nova Winery House - Relais & Châteaux

About

Quinta Nova de Nossa Senhora do Carmo is a family‑owned winery and manor house that has become a leading destination for wine tourism in Portugal’s Douro Valley. The estate covers 120 ha and contains 41 individual plots of vines, each uniquely characterized by classic Douro micro‑terroirs. Guests stay in a 118‑year‑old manor that blends historic charm with modern comfort, featuring panoramic views, a traditional chapel, and a serene landscape dotted with terraces and a peaceful pool. The property is renowned for its distinctive cellars—original 18th‑century stone caves refurbished in the 20th century and upgraded with state‑of‑the‑art fermentation technology. Visitors can experience the full winemaking ritual, from grape harvest to barrel aging, and taste a range of award‑winning Douro wines crafted with a focus on authenticity and balance. Beyond wine, the estate offers guided tours of the vineyards, walking routes along the river, and a free transfer service to the Ferrão river pier and nearby rail station. Its tranquil atmosphere, coupled with Michelin‑style dining at the on‑site restaurant and the Relais & Châteaux heritage, makes Quinta Nova an ideal choice for families, couples, and wine enthusiasts seeking a blend of luxury, history, and natural beauty.
