About Quinta do Seixo

Quinta do Seixo sits in Valença do Douro, where a century-old vineyard anchors the estate's work with Porto and Douro wines. The program spans Porto Sandeman's range, from Branco through Tawny expressions aged 10, 20, 30, and 40 years, alongside Casa Ferreirinha Douro DOC. Visitors choose their depth. A 50-minute introduction tastes three Porto wines. A 1.5-hour session focuses on aged Tawnies alone. The 2.5-hour vineyard tour covers terroir, biodiversity, and viticulture. A 3-hour Porto and Cheese pairing or a Porto Wine Workshop with five wines go further. Seasonal picnics unfold in the vineyard March through October. The harvest program, six hours long, moves from grape cutting through traditional granite lagares foot treading to lunch at restaurant SEIXO by Vasco Coelho Santos.
