At Quinta do Fôjo, you are received as a guest of the family. Our nine-hectare estate sits above the river at Cambres, near Lamego, in the heart of the Douro - and every visit is hosted personally by owner Elisabete Saraiva, whose family has been part of this valley for generations. We pour our Barderas Familia wines, serve regional food from our own kitchen and olive oil from our own trees.
A Private Wine Experience
Most Douro tastings put you in a group of strangers with a guide. Ours puts you at a table with the person whose family has farmed this land - Elisabete, who was born in this valley, spent two decades in Madrid and London and returned to take over the quinta and offer its products to a handful of guests at a time.
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 Barderas Familia wines paired with regional food. Our reds are grown on our own hillsides and made in collaboration with winemakers we trust; our whites comes from a grower we chose with care.
Wine Tasting ranges from €80 per person for the Estate Tasting and €140 for the Reserva Tasting.
We can also offer a limited number of rooms for those wishing to experience A Rural Stay in the Douro.
