Join us to explore one of the most well known wine estates in Douro region, the Quinta de Nápoles from Niepoort. It’s not about the size of the vineyards, it’s not about the quantity of acres, though about the quality and the recognition by the industry’s experts as well as wine lovers. Highly awarded wines.
You’ll meet us at the estate, where we will accompany you on an easy walk through the vineyards. It’s an introduction and warm-up for what comes next. People love this short time within a peace and quiet context, but also as a healthy outdoor experience to learn a bit about the wine production. It takes about an hour. Afterwards, accompanied by an expert from the estate, we will visit the winery and see all phases of production. It’s an amazing and a surprising travel under oaks, casks, and stainless steel vats. You will understand a bit of this complex and challenging world of making good wines, in a great house. It’s a private tour.
Then, it’s time for the Portuguese lunch at the wine estate. It’s not an ordinary either cuisine or restaurant, though it’s also the good about the tour. You can’t find an experience at table like this easily. You will take a seat with some of the experts of the wine estate. It’s a familiar and local meal. You will taste at least four different wines. It’s a paired meal in a rural stunning context with great views. You will raise a toast several times to life and good moments, as people usually love to do. After all, this is a no-pressure, no-rush tour to discover Niepoort wines at picturesque Quinta de Nápoles, known as the mother house of its Douro wines.
