Visiting Quinta do Vesuvio - Now open to the public

Post by Roy Hersh »

From a PR release and on the SFE website too:

"For the first time, we are offering a unique opportunity for a private day visit of this remarkable quinta with a dedicated guide. Take in the magnificent estate house and chapel; step into the granite lagares in the winery where grapes are trodden by foot; and tour the mountainous vineyards across seven hills. You can choose to enjoy a tutored tasting of Vesúvio’s finest Vintage Ports and Douro DOC wines either among the barrels in the old winery, or in the main house’s historic Portrait Room. Afterwards, you will be served a traditional Douro lunch on the balcony, which offers spectacular views over the river. Prices start at 450€/person."

2-4 people: 500 €. 5 - 10 people: 450 €. Children: 50 €

Included:

Welcome drink on arrival. Jeep tour of the vineyard, including appetizers. Guided tour of the winery. Tasting of five Quinta do Vesúvio wines (two Douro DOC and three Vintage Ports). Lunch on the balcony overlooking the river, including starter, a choice of fish, meat or vegetarian main, dessert, fruits, cheeses and coffee.
Ambition driven by passion, rather than money, is as strong an elixir as is Port. http://www.fortheloveofport.com
