Quinta do Noval

Douro Valley, Portugal

#36 World's Best Vineyards 2024

Of the terraced vineyards cascading down the Douro Valley’s steep slopes to the water, Port producer Quinta do Noval’s are some of the oldest, holding Portugal’s highest quality ranking. So this is where private tours begin; by appointment only, they are hosted every day of the year, offering a glimpse at the modest plot of ungrafted native vines used to create ‘Naçional’ – one of the world’s most sought-after vintage Ports. Move on to the winery and cellars for a feel of an estate that traces back to 1715. Quayside at Pinhão, the sleek new visitors’ centre welcomes walk-ins for interactive insights and, of course, tastings.
