Quinta do Vallado
Douro Valley, Portugal
- No.84 The World's 50 Best Vineyards 2025
Bask in the Douro's winemaking history in serious style at one of two boutique hotels belonging to an estate dating back to 1716. At the original winery, classic and colourful suites within the eighteenth‑century manor house are contrasted by the grey schist of the modern wing. Nearby, an eco‑hotel surrounded by organic vineyards and orange groves juts out over the hillside, its infinity pool gazing down onto the region's famous river, its spa using homegrown essential oils – the perfect antidote to a packed itinerary that can include hiking, cycling, fishing, canoeing, stand‑up paddleboarding, cookery classes, harvesting grapes, treading them under foot, wine blending and, of course, wine tasting.
