Cupido presents Port wine and chocolates at Quinta do Bomfim
06/02/2024The most romantic day of the year is approaching and, at Quinta do Bomfim, love will be in the air. Between February 14th and 18th, visitors to the historic Symington Family Estates property, located in Pinhão, will be welcomed with a special treat. To celebrate Valentine’s Day, and to enjoy the best that the Douro terroir has to offer, everyone who purchases a guided tour will receive, as a gift, a taste of Graham’s Six Grapes, paired with chocolates.
In addition to the visit, which costs 18 euros, and the gift tasting, visitors can also take advantage of Quinta do Bomfim’s other tasting options, which include several references from the Symington family portfolio (from 25 euros). Visitors can also enjoy the other activities that the Wine Tourism Center offers, such as vineyard tours (from eight euros, giving access to an essential kit for carrying out the same). For those who prefer to complement the experience with a more refined meal, the suggestion is to have dinner at the Bomfim 1896 with Pedro Lemos restaurant, located on the property. With the aroma of wood-burning ovens and stoves in the air, and an open-plan kitchen as a backdrop, the restaurant presents a diverse menu, with classic Portuguese dishes.
For five generations in the Symington family, Quinta do Bomfim is the home par excellence of the renowned Dow’s Port wines, with several activities available to its visitors throughout the year. The property has won several awards over the last few years, such as two “Global Winner” (in 2017 and 2024) and two “Regional Winner” distinctions in the Best of Wine Tourism, as well as three awards in the TOP 50 World’s Best Vineyards (in the years 2019, 2021 and 2022).
Easily accessible, Quinta do Bomfim is located around an hour and a half by car from Porto and just 350 meters from Pinhão train station, connecting to Campanhã. For this reason, in the low season and before the peak tourism months, Quinta do Bomfim keeps its doors open, with national visitors – Portuguese and foreigners residing in Portugal – in mind.
