Each time I return to the scenic Douro Valley is a great opportunity to explore its quintas. For those who want a more authentic Douro Valley experience if you stay at a quinta, you will most likely get quality time. Given there are over 200 quintas in the Douro there is no way to experience all of them however, besides staying at a quinta, you can also do wine tastings, and/or dine at others. I have so enjoyed all my Douro Valley quinta experiences. Douro Explorations © Spaswinefood In case you are wondering What is a Quinta? Historically quintas were family owned estates that included farm homes, surrounded by large plots of land, intended for both income and family consumption. These farms usually rented out one-fifth of its property. Fifth is quintus in Latin hence, they became known as quintas. Over time, and with more modern cultivation practices, many of Portugal’s traditional quintas disappeared. Many of the estates were wine-producing. In fact today many of Portugal’s wines are still produced at quintas, with the labels bearing their name. Moreover, Douro's port vineyards there is a Quinta Classification system that grades the quality potential of vineyards. Visitors are immediately struck by the stunning beauty of the oldest demarcated and regulated wine region in the world. This wine region was defined in 1756, and made a UNESCO World Heritage in 2001. Its terraced vineyards stretch as far as the eye can see, along the Douro River and its tributaries. The valley runs along the Douro River, from Spain to Porto (Oporto), on the Atlantic coast. During my 2023 Douro visit I stayed at two quintas, Qunita do Portal and Quinta Manhãs Douro, and visited Quinta de la Rosa's Cozinha da Clara Restaurante, and Quinta do Pôpa. Over the years my Douro wine travels have included Quinta Do Panascal, Quinta Do Seixo, Senhora Do Rosário and others. What follows are a few highlights: 1. Qunita do Portal Qunita do Portal was my doorway to this very special wine region. October 2012 this was where we (John and I) were first introduced to the Douro Valley. Returning in 2023 meant we (Carol & I) could experience the vineyards in the spring time. Quinta do Portal, Douro Valley © Spaswinefood We so enjoyed those spring time walks. Quinta do Portal, Douro Valley © Spaswinefood Spring time also meant the grapes were just starting to bud.

Touring Quinta do Portal © Spaswinefood Quinta do Portal, Douro Valley © Spaswinefood It is always a pleasure to stay at Quinta do Portal. 2. Quinta Manhas Douro Before leaving the Douro Valley we stayed at Quinta Manhas Douro. The Quinta is located not far from Pinhão, one of the main tourist destinations of the Douro region. Quinta Manhas Douro © Spaswinefood Taking in the Views, Quinta Manhas Douro © Spaswinefood Quinta Manhãs Douro is located in Provesende, a small village in Sabrosa Municipality, on the Aldeias Vinhateiras route. It is in the heart of Alto Douro Vinhateiro, UNESCO World Heritage. Views from Quinta Manhas Douro © Spaswinefood Church, Provesende © Spaswinefood High in the Douro Valley, the tiny village of Provesende, gave us an impressive view of the valley, and a snapshot into vintage Portugal of yesterday. Douro offers many excellent dining options. For sure our drives through the Douro Valley included a few culinary explorations along the way. Let's take a peek at one of culinary outings at a quinta last May. One of the highlights of our culinary outings took us to Cozinha da Clara Restaurante, Quinta de la Rosa. Given it is located on the scenic Douro River it offers breathtaking views of the river and the surrounding hills. 3. Culinary Explorations at Cozinha da Clara Restaurante Sitting by the window at Quinta de la Rosa's Cozinha da Clara Restaurante, we are about to discover one of the best dining spots in the Douro Valley. Quinta de la Rosa, with around 1,400 acres, is one of Douro's most famous estates with great views and river-facing location. Let's take a peek at our culinary outing to Quinta de la Rosa. Douro Views by the River, Cozinha da Clara Restaurante © Spaswinefood Our Douro Valley travels took us to Cozinha da Clara Restaurante at Quinta de la Rosa. This quinta is one of the Douro's most famous estates. In fact it has an amazing restaurant, located right on the Douro River with fabulous views. It provides an idyllic backdrop for dining. Cozinha da Clara Restaurante, Douro Valley © Spaswinefood We found parking was a bit difficult to find there however, we managed to secure a spot nearby. For those without a car you can stroll along the river from the village of Pinhão. It is about a 15-20 minute walk. Cozinha da Clara Restaurante It was here we enjoyed the most fabulous lunch with a wine flight. Quinta De La Rosa Wines, Cozinha da Clara Restaurante © Spaswinefood We were most fortunately it was late May. Not only were we lucky, to get a table but, we got one overlooking the river.

After lunch we would continue on our way back to our accommodations at Quinta Manhas Douro. 4. Quinta do Pôpa Quinta do Pôpa has been on my list for awhile. Over the years I have interacted with Stéphane Ferreira whose family owns Quinta do Pôpa. Vanessa, his sister is also winemaker. Returning spring 2023 to the Douro Valley was the perfect opportunity for me to visit the Quinta do Pôpa for the first time. Every time I return to the Douro Valley I am immediately struck by its stunning beauty. Terraced vineyards stretch as far as the eye can see, along the Douro River and its tributaries. This description fits perfectly for Quinta do Pôpa in the heart of the Douro, in the hot and dry region of Cima Corgo, in Adorigo, Tabuaço county. Quinta do Pôpa, Douro Valley © Spaswinefood We were blown away by the views at Quinta do Pôpa, and will the drive up and down, to the tasting room, not so much. For sure, after driving up, we relaxed and took our time. Special thanks to Carol for her excellent driving skills. After taking in the sights at the top off we went to the tasting room.

Picnic at Pôpa © Spaswinefood One could never tires of the views here. Douro Valley Views © Spaswinefood We sure enjoyed this Douro Valley quinta. 5. More on Douro Valley Quintas Fortunately, during earlier Douro visits, I have visited a number quintas, such as Quinta Do Panascal and Quinta Do Seixo. Our spring 2023 agenda had included a return visit to Quevedo's at Quinta Senhora Do Rosário. It was undergoing reconstruction however, we did manage to drive by the area. Exploring the Douro Valley 2023 © Spaswinefood It is hard to forget my July 2016 visit to Quevedo's at Quinta Senhora Do Rosário. Quevedo, Douro Valley 2016 © SpaswinefoodWhile at Quevedo we were introduced to Quevedo and Covela wines. After a welcoming drink it was off to the Quevedo cellar for a quick look. Naturally, after a general overview Oscar poured us a few samples. Yes, we did some sampling from the wine barrels. Given that I had met Oscar at a number of prior wine events, it was rather special for me to finally visit with him at his family winery. Once back upstairs we continued to taste more Covela wines. One of the wines that I tasted was a Covela Edição Nacional Avesso 2013. Tasting Covela Wines © Spaswinefood Covela Edição Nacional Avesso 2013 © SpaswinefoodThe tasting of Quevedo and Covela wines continued over lunch. Lunch is always a gastronomic affair at such gatherings. Lunch © SpaswinefoodNeedless to say lunch was filled with many tasty dishes. It was a stellar lunch with excellent Covela wines and amazing Quevedo wines. One of the wines I tasted was Cláudia's wine. Here is how Quevedo described Cláudia's wine: "Claudia’s wine is an expression of what Claudia, the winemaker together with Teresa, love most on each harvest. Claudia’s wine is a blend of grapes from different plots. They don’t follow the some (sic same) recipe every harvest as the vines don’t produce the same grapes every year. One thing we can assure, all our grapes are hand picked and treated as small treasures." Quevedo Cláudia's 2013 © SpaswinefoodQuevedo also produce a wine called Oscar's wine, which I did not taste. However, let me not forget Quevedo's Port wines. I did taste an amazing Quevedo 30 Year Old White Port. Quevedo 30 Year Old White Port © SpaswinefoodIt was a heavenly just to taste this Quevedo 30 Year Old White Port wine. Overall amongst the wines I tasted it was hard not to fall in love with Covela's Rosé and Quevedo's 30 Year Old White Port. Covela Rosé 2015 © Spaswinefood Quevedo 30 Year Old White Port © SpaswinefoodI should not forget to say that I did admire seeing the Quevedo Port wines (Colheita, Tawny and Ruby). Quevedo, Colheita 1996, 1997 and 2000 © Spaswinefood Quevedo Tawny and Ruby Port © SpaswinefoodAs you can see we were treated royally by our hosts. It was indeed a delightfully hot July day in the Douro Valley when I last visited here. Swimmers, Douro Valley 2016 © SpaswinefoodBefore leaving on such a hot day in July we took a dip in the Douro. It was a great way to cool down on a 38 degree Celsius day. Hot or not, no true wine enthusiast can get enough of the Douro. The Douro Valley port wines and its other wines sure leave a lasting impression. As always, all to soon it was time to leave the Douro, and its stunning valley views. During our Douro Valley wine travels we have always enjoyed venturing out and exploring quintas along the wine route. Ruta do Vinho do Porto, Douro Valley © Spaswinefood Living the dream is all about exploring Douro Valley quintas. Obviously, I have not scratched the surface on Douro Valley quintas. For sure the Douro Boys quintas is an absolute must. Without a doubt, returning to the Douro Valley is always a highlight of my wine travels in Portugal. For me, Douro Valley wines is a must for wine lovers.
