Quinta do Crasto
Douro Valley, Portugal
- No.67 The World's 50 Best Vineyards 2025
As renowned for its still reds as it is for its rich, velvety ports, a visit to Quinta do Crasto is a must when in the Douro Valley. If you're lucky enough to stay in one of the estate's four highly exclusive private suits within its recently restored, century-old Manor House, then you'll feel like you've stepped back in time. Join the family for breakfast before cooling off in their infinity pool that juts out from the hillside, where you can drink in the jaw-dropping views of the valley with a glass of wine in hand and enjoy Portuguese tapas by the pool's edge. After a tour of the vineyards, wine tasting, or a picnic in a scenic spot, the owners will organise a boat trip, where you can meander along the Douro River at a gentle pace, or a sunset dinner on their terrace made with fresh local ingredients.
