Located in Celeirós, Vila Real, Quinta Do Beijo stands as a prominent destination for those seeking to understand Portuguese viticulture beyond the typical red blends the Douro is famed for.
During the 30-minute guided tasting, participants encounter three carefully selected wines: a single-varietal monocasta, a balanced blend of local grape varieties, and a majestic grande reserva aged in wood barrels. Each sip reveals distinct characteristics shaped by the Douro’s varied soils, steep terraces, and microclimates. Passionate experts walk you through the vinification process and the sensory properties of each wine, turning the tasting into an insightful experience.
