We had the pleasure of staying at Quinta da Corte during their first month of business, and were absolutely blown away by the gorgeous facilities and attentive service. The house-prepared meals were fantastic, from a gorgeous breakfast spread served in the immaculately restored farmhouse to the delicious dinners served at sunset on the balcony overlooking the spectacular Douro valley.
The most delightful part of our stay, however, was the in-depth tour of the beautiful port-making facilities led by our knowledgeable host, Nuno. We were lucky enough to visit during harvest, and the highlight of the tour saw us joining the seasonal workers in the vats to stomp grapes in traditional formation! We rounded everything off with an excellent tasting of Quinta da Corte's delicious ports.
Our stay at Quinta da Corte was truly magical, and one of the high points of our trip to Portugal. If you have the opportunity to stay there, don't pass it up!
