About
Our estate harbours one of the oldest wineries in the Douro Demarcated Region. The two buildings were erected in 1764 on different levels and still maintain their original design, with schist walls and tall, wide wooden doors, through which 550-litre Port wine barrels used to pass.
Discover our wines at the Patamar Wine Shop & Bar, where you can enjoy an outdoor terrace that offers wonderful panoramic views over the vineyard, nestled next to the Douro River.
Taste our wines - some of the finest wines produced in the Douro region. For wine lovers, we also offer the chance to sample the flavours of the Dão region. We want to provide you with an unforgettable wine experience that pays tribute not only to the Douro region but also to Portugal, as a wine tourism destination.
