Quinta das Carvalhas, one of the most iconic estates in the Upper Douro, endowed with immense beauty. The property occupies a prominent position on the left bank of the Douro River, facing the village of Pinhão. It covers the entire hillside overlooking the river, extending to the ridge line, and occupies part of the slope on the right bank of the Torto River.
Visiting Quinta das Carvalhas is like experiencing the Douro from within – with vineyard work (such as pruning, digging, or harvesting), olive picking, and the rebuilding of traditional schist walls – all seen from the best angles of its landscape. It’s about witnessing very old vines and slopes with a 70-degree incline; admiring the Douro and Torto rivers; enjoying the fauna and flora in symbiosis. Throughout Quinta das Carvalhas, in addition to the vineyards, there are areas of woodland, forest, olive groves, and gardens, all built with ancient granite stones and schist terraces, where various species of flowers, plants, and aromatic herbs have been planted.
At the Quinta das Carvalhas wine shop, the extensive range of Douro and Porto wines from Real Companhia Velha is available for tasting or purchase. The shop also has a private room for tastings.
