LAVRADORES DE FEITORIA WINE TOURISM

Opening on 1 April 2022, at Quinta do Medronheiro, Lavradores de Feitoria's wine tourism stands out both for its regular guided wine tours, which take place from Monday to Friday at two different times, 10:30 a.m. and 3:30 p.m., and for its more private tours, scheduled according to the preferences of our visitors.

For private tours and 'Winemaker for a Day' experience, there is flexibility in scheduling, always depending on availability and requiring prior booking.

Although the wine tourism initiative is just over two years old, it has proven to be a genuine success. Its unique characteristics and the way it showcases the work done at Lavradores de Feitoria to visitors have culminated in one of the most important distinctions in wine tourism. The Great Wine Capitals platform awarded it the " Best Of Wine Tourism 2023 " seal in the category of best wine tourism service, reinforcing the natural visibility of the brand's options, as well as its positioning.

This recognition is simultaneously a source of pride for the company from northern Portugal and an important lever for promoting Douro wine region, a region where tradition and culture are naturally linked to wine, establishing itself as the oldest demarcated and regulated wine region in the world, where wine tourism presents itself here and now as the best instrument/activity for communicating the king of the region.

Direct contact with those who arrive in Douro Valley, motivated by the discovery of the wines produced here and previously unknown, allows for a complete and authentic explanation of the evolution of this entire metamorphosis.

Wine tourism goes beyond just wine, using it as a starting point to explore a region’s knowledge, flavors, and culture. It ties together gastronomy, historic architecture, protected landscapes recognized by UNESCO, and age-old traditions that tell stories of centuries of hard work.

What sets Douro region apart from other wine tourism destinations is its rich, ancestral knowledge passed down through generations. With the unique complexity of flavors that Douro offers, Lavadores de Feitoria wine tourism project has gained a loyal and ever-growing following. Drawn by curiosity, visitors often find themselves filled with admiration, wonder, and delight.
