Quinta do Fôjo is a traditional, family run winery founded upon a history of Port wine now also producing table wine together with olive oil located in the Douro valley in Northern Portugal, a UNESCO World Heritage region.

Our Story

Elisabete Sancho Saraiva, the sponsor of the Quinta do Fôjo project is the current generation of the quinta’s owners.

Nearby lies Lamego, where the first king of Portugal was crowned in the 12th century together with Peso da Regua and Pinhão, towns at the heart of the local wine growing industries. Elisabete's grandfather played a principal role in helping develop the local infrastructure as a merchant supplying the early Port Wine industry in the Douro Valley. He was honoured by the government and, locally, was also appointed Mayor of Pinhão. Indeed, the main street is named after him - Rua António Manuel Saraiva. He was succeeded as Mayor by Elisabete’s father; it was his industry that initially developed Quinta do Fôjo - the project now being developed and managed since his passing by his daughter.

Our Projects

Quinta do Fôjo today continues to develop new projects as part of its Winery and Turismo Rural operations including a range of table wines and olive oil.

We are very excited.
