Quinta do Vallado Douro Wine Hotel

Quinta do Vallado was an absolutely wonderful place to stay! The hotel is the definition of 5-star comfort, luxury, dining, and classic old-world relaxation. From the minute we arrived, they had a smooth check-in with excellent information. We stayed in the modern building in a superior room. The room was spacious with beautiful amenities and setup. There was everything we could need in the room. The common spaces of the hotel were beautifully decorated. Dinner was served with a fixed menu with 2-3 options, including a vegetarian option, at 7 pm or 9 pm. The wine from Quinta Do Vallado was beautifully paired with our meals, with the option of their premium or super premium wines. The quality of the wine with the food was impeccable and at a great value. The property was breathtaking and has a beautiful 300 + year history. The in-ground granite-lined pool is gorgeously set in a grove of orange trees, which is incredibly picturesque. The staff was incredibly helpful in organizing things as well as transportation, and the complimentary tour of the winery was also incredibly educational. Quinta do Vallado is a breathtaking property that is a perfect escape from the outside busy world.

We signed up for the wine tasting and winery tour. The guide was knowledgeable. We got to taste up to 4 wines and 1 port; with cheese and crackers. One of the much better wine tasting experience.

Really informative and efficient winery tour with a VR experience of the harvest! Our guide was very thorough and knowledgeable about the different varieties, and I liked how it remains a family-run business even though it is one of the oldest and biggest wineries. Recommend touring in the morning during the summer months as it can get pretty hot outside!
