Winery
Started by Burgundian winemaker Vincent Bouchard (part of the Bouchard et Fils family), this Quinta is a 37-acre property with a 250-year-old estate. While the property may be classic, their view on winemaking is very modern, taking risks with non traditional red blends and rose’s.

A true family-owned and operated winery, started by a couple with a love for old vines. Old vines don’t always produce high quantity of grapes, but often very high quality. The winery is simple and unassuming but the wines are beautifully made and bottles are priced to move.

Food Scene
Our favorite fine dining option in the Douro Valley. Usually restaurants with the best views have sub-par food as a trade off, but not here. The tasting menu consists of fresh octopus, lamb, codfish and other local delights. The wine pairing is always spot on and the dinner is fairly priced compared to other similar tasting menu restaurants.

While the estate winery of Quinta de Bomfim may be large scale production, the new on-site restaurant doesn’t taste like it. Incredible views of the Douro River, sitting atop endless rows of vines. Octopus tagine is one of the best in the country and their homemade cornbread is to die for.
