Quinta da Pedra Alta Winery Visit & Premium Tasting

Discover the Art of Winemaking in the Douro Valley

Located in the heart of the Douro Valley's renowned Cima Corgo sub-region, Quinta da Pedra Alta is a boutique wine estate dedicated to producing wines that faithfully express the unique terroir of the region.

Your experience begins with a guided tour through the production winery, where you'll learn about the estate's philosophy and the winemaking techniques that transform hand-harvested grapes into elegant Douro wines. Under the guidance of resident winemaker João Pires, Quinta da Pedra Alta combines traditional Douro methods with a contemporary approach to crafting balanced and expressive wines.

Continue into the ageing cellars, where wines mature in oak barrels before blending and bottling. Here, you'll gain a deeper understanding of how time, altitude and craftsmanship contribute to the complexity and balance that define Quinta da Pedra Alta's wines.

The experience concludes with a commented tasting of five wines, including two Ports, selected to showcase different styles, grape varieties and ageing techniques from across the estate.

Combining high-altitude vineyards, traditional granite lagares and a modern approach to winemaking, Quinta da Pedra Alta offers a fascinating insight into the people, landscapes and craftsmanship behind some of the Douro Valley's most distinctive wines.
