Quinta do Fojo is a traditional family run quinta producing grapes used for making Port and Table wines in the UNESCO World Heritage Douro Valley, located in Northern Portugal.

In addition to our winery business, Quinta do Fojo started an evolutionary project in 2016 to offer “Turismo Rural”. We offer 2x double bedrooms available in the main house; each has their own bathroom (though as it’s a traditional quinta these are not en-suite). Occasionally, we may be able to provide accommodation for a single group of up to 8 people. For details, please contact us directly.

Our continental breakfast focuses on home-made products sourced from small producers, helping to sustain a local economy.

We do not have air conditioning but with the granite construction of the house combined with it’s layout and positioning we feel it allows for a cool environment with good, natural ventilation whilst being eco-friendly by minimising our use of power. Fans have been provided in the bedrooms together with mosquito nets should you wish to use them.

We offer free parking on-site; however, as we remain a working farm we regret we are presently unable to offer dedicated facilities either for children or for people who are mobility-impaired.

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.
