Quinta do Fôjo is a working family wine estate in the Douro where a small number of guests are personally received for private wine experiences.
Elisabete, whose family has been part of this valley for generations, returned from working in Madrid and London including her wine studies to take over the ownership and management of the Quinta. Since her return the wines of Quinta do Fôjo are now released under the Barderas Familia label to honour the role of women in the estate's history.
The seven-hectare estate occupies a prominent position above the river at Cambres, near Lamego in the heart of the Douro.
A Private Wine Experience
The Quinta now offers private wine tastings to a handful of guests at a time. Every visit is hosted personally by Elisabete - most Douro tastings put you in a group of strangers with a guide; at Quinta do Fôjo, you are received as a guest of the family.
We serve our wines alongside regional food from our own kitchen and olive oil from our trees. A visit begins in the vineyards and the old granite lagares, where our grapes were trodden for generations and settles in the cozinha dos caseiros - the vineyard workers' kitchen for a tasting of our wines paired with regional food.
We look forward to welcoming you.
