Quinta da Côrte with new proposals for Wine Tourism

In the heart of the Douro region (in the sub-region of Cima Corgo, just a few kilometers by car from Pinhão), nestled in the UNESCO World Heritage landscape, Quinta da Côrte reopens the Boutique “Rendez-Vous” by Quinta da Côrte. Here, at this meeting point, visitors can discover all the exclusive products of this producer, from Port and Douro wines to organic olive oil. Additionally, it’s a space where you can immerse yourself in an experience, with wine tastings, visits to a room with century-old casks and barrels, and a panoramic terrace where you can enjoy an evening with the sunset over the Douro, while pairing a glass of wine with a selection of local snacks, cheeses, or dried fruits. Simultaneously, picnics return to Quinta da Côrte, in an idyllic setting that invites you to delve into the essence of this property and the local flavors of the region.

In a landscape dominated by the characteristic shale of the Douro demarcated region, the “Rendez-Vous” boutique presents itself as a meeting point for wine enthusiasts and lovers of this historic landscape. The store is the heart of this space, which also includes a tasting room, an old stone mill, and a room with century-old Port wine barrels. Outside, the terrace with its stunning view of the vineyard landscape and the Douro River enchants visitors and invites them to linger at the pace of the region’s serenity, while enjoying the sunset with the Douro River at their feet.

The “Rendez-Vous” boutique by Quinta da Côrte becomes a must-visit for those exploring the Douro, offering wine tastings with various options according to each visitor’s interest and availability. For those wishing to visit the vineyards and winery of Quinta da Côrte, bookings can be made directly at the boutique, with the option of a customizable program.

Picnics are another novelty of this season, an idyllic experience in a selected location for this activity. Visitors can enjoy the vineyard views while relaxing to the comforting sound of nature. Picnics include a traditional basket filled with regional products, ideal for two people or small groups. The basket includes a bottle of wine, either Côrte Douro White or Princesa Reserva Douro Red, a selection of cured meats, ham, and salami, green salad with raisins, goat cheese (requeijão) and vinaigrette, traditional turnovers (small pastries filled with minced meat), fruit skewers, glass bottles of 0.5L water, a bottle of natural juice or Coca-Cola, and sandwiches with caco bread, roast beef, and arugula. There is also the option to select a vegetarian option or accommodate any dietary restrictions, ensuring a personalized and inclusive gastronomic experience for all customers. The picnic suggestion is only available from May to October, at a cost of 50 euros per person. Reservations must be made 48 hours in advance (depending on weather conditions), and this experience can be enjoyed between 12:30 pm and 4:00 pm every day.

Quinta da Côrte offers exclusive wine tourism, standing out for its customization and personalized hospitality. For those wishing to learn more about this century-old property, other experiences are also offered. From staying in the House with its 8 rooms to visiting the winery, both designed by the architect and interior designer Pierre Yovanovitch, whose details, colors, and traditional Portuguese materials invite guests to immerse themselves in the history and beauty of this place nestled in the heart of the Douro demarcated region.

The proposed activities range from guided tours of the Estate and various tasting options to other sensory experiences, providing a complete immersion in the essence and local flavors. All visitors can take with them not only unforgettable memories of this place but also a bit of the beauty of this century-old vineyard estate.
