Quinta das Carvalhas was acquired in 1975 by Real Companhia Velha.

It is located on the opposite bank to the village of Pinhão, in São João da Pesqueira.

Here, different types of visits to the building are possible. One of the most requested is the Vintage Visit, where you will be accompanied by an agricultural engineer who will describe the local heritage.

You are also entitled to outdoor tastings next to the vineyards where the great Douro wines are produced.

At the top of Quinta das Carvalhas it is possible to find the Casa Redonda where several events are organized and where it is possible to have meals.

At the end, taste a white wine, a red wine and a Port wine from Real Companhia Velha.

Born in the Douro, namely in the village of Galafura where the most beautiful viewpoint in the Douro is located, Monte de São Leonardo de Galafura. I am lucky to have been born in one of the most beautiful regions in the world and I want to share the best of what comes from it. I want to make known to the world its landscape, its customs, the gastronomy and the fantastic wines that go from strength to strength in the mouths of the world.
