Quinta do Panascal was one of the first to open its doors, in 1992.

It is the most important of the three Fonseca Guimaraens properties, and from its vineyards came what was considered the best wine in the world – Vintage Fonseca 1994.

It has two rooms and terraces that can be rented for lunches, dinners, snacks and meetings.

Quinta do Panascal offers programs such as educational visits in an audio-tour system, available in several languages, and entry into the centuries-old mills of the farm.

You can also enjoy a commented wine tasting in the living room.

During the harvest season, it is possible to watch the picking of the grapes and also the treading of the berries.

In the living room it is possible to purchase the entire range of Port wines produced by the wine estates.

This property thus offers visitors a paradisiacal environment.
