Located at the confluence of the Tedo and Douro rivers, Quinta do Tedo is a charming 18th-century estate that intertwines the art of winemaking with hospitality and sustainable agriculture. Belonging to the respected Bouchard family, whose legacy in winemaking dates back eight generations to the sacred vineyards of Burgundy, France, Quinta do Tedo embodies a harmonious blend of tradition, innovation, and environmental responsibility.
Following the teachings passed down through several generations, Vincent Bouchard, who leads the family, firmly believes that the quality of fine wine begins in the vineyards, where each grape absorbs the unique characteristics of the soil and climate. Therefore, in 2011, Quinta do Tedo became certified organic, committing to responsible and sustainable farming methods.
With 15 hectares of meticulously tended vineyards and an additional 6 hectares dedicated to organic olive groves, the abundance of Quinta do Tedo extends beyond wines to include its renowned olive oil. Here, guests are invited to enjoy a variety of experiences, from peaceful walks along the serene Tedo River to thrilling adventures of kayaking or canoeing.
The culinary delights of Quinta do Tedo are truly irresistible, with the Bistro Terrace led by renowned chefs who craft genuine eno-gastronomic masterpieces using locally sourced ingredients, many of which are harvested directly on the property. Visitors are invited to indulge in the authentic flavors of the region, harmonized by the excellent wines produced on the estate, providing an experience that exceeds expectations.
At the heart of Quinta do Tedo lies its welcoming tasting room, where wine enthusiasts can embark on a journey through the vast portfolio of estate wines. Here, amid the aromas of aged oak and sun-drenched vineyards, visitors are invited to savor the essence of this idyllic retreat in the Douro Valley, where each sip tells a story of passion, tradition, and the timeless beauty of nature in its fullness.
