This will be your favorite stop in Douro. Amazing wine tasting at a family owned boutique winery with knowledgeable staff (thank you Eric!), breathtaking views, delicious and reasonably priced wines done in traditional method. The winery offers a range port and standard wines, giving you the chance to taste a range of possibilities from Duoro. The drive to the top of the hill where Quinta do Beijo is located, is very picturesque and exactly the type of imagery that will stay with you long after your trip to Duoro finishes. Eric, our host, has worked in wine in New Zealand, and grew up in the wine business in California and has been working with Portuguese wines for some time. He is very knowledgeable and can go as technical as you would like or keep it light and fun. We really enjoyed hearing about his perspective on the Portuguese wine industry. He was an excellent host. We also enjoyed the wine. The whites were aromatic, acidic, very approachable. The ports were a highlight as well, especially the aged ones. Seeing how the winery still practices traditional methods of crushing grapes with your feet during harvest, was very special. As a former wine importer, I look for quality in the wine, stories, passion, uniqueness, pride in the product and traditions, a sense of place and purpose and I found this at Quinta do Beijo. This would be a memorable tour, especially if you have Eric as your guide.

We did the trip to Quinta do Crasto following the road roads from Porto along the Douro river. Only the trip itself is pure gold and deserves its own review. Quinta do Crasto itself is a piece of heaven brought to earth. The place itself, the location, the vineyards, the grapes, its history, the people, their warm manners, all of them are part of this maze of amazing experiences that make up a trip to the Quinta. I can’t praise it enough. What you get is NOT what you expect, it’s times 10. Everything is carefully thought for delight. The visit and explanations are superb, the special care due to COVID is extreme, the food is out of this world, the wine, oh the wine! The wine is tobacco, Chico plate, black pepper, cinnamon, clove, nutmeg, ginger, peach and red fruits bottled Indian silk. Their people are angels sent to the Quinta to make you feel a king for a few hours. Thank you Raquel and Juana for taking so much care of us - you are the soul of this place and a huge part of the experience we took with us is due to you.
