Why a visit to Vale Alto feels different from a cellar door

You taste with the people who make the wine
The family that grows the grapes leads your tasting, so every question about the vines, the year or the cellar gets a first-hand answer.
You sit in a working cellar from 1890
Your glasses are poured among the barrels of a stone cellar built in 1890, where our wine is still made.
Lunch comes with the view
The terrace is set among the vines and looks over the river, so you eat beside the slopes your wine came from.
An easy day from Porto
Five minutes above Pinhão and two hours from Porto by car or train, close enough for a day in the Douro.
