The Ramos Pinto winery, founded in 1880 by Adriano Ramos Pinto, is a benchmark in Port and Douro wine, with more than 140 years of history dedicated to producing exceptional wines. Its participation in FINE #WineTourism Marketplace underlines its commitment to wine tourism and its leading role in the international wine industry, attracting wine lovers seeking authentic experiences in the heart of Portugal.

An emblem of the Douro

From its beginnings, Ramos Pinto stood out for its pioneering vision and its ability to combine winemaking tradition with innovative business techniques. At the end of the 19th century, the winery was able to differentiate itself through avant-garde marketing strategies, with advertising posters that are still part of its visual identity. Located in the Douro Valley, a region declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO, Ramos Pinto has maintained a deep bond with its land and its history.

The Douro is known as one of the oldest wine regions in the world, where the terraced vineyards have been shaped by centuries of human labour. This privileged environment provides Ramos Pinto with a diversity of soils and microclimates that are ideal for the production of wines of great character. From the iconic Port wine to the elegant table wines of the Douro, each bottle reflects the heritage and passion that characterises the winery.

A total experience to understand wine culture

Ramos Pinto has designed a comprehensive wine tourism offer that allows visitors to explore the world of wine in an enriching and memorable way. The experiences begin at Quinta do Bom Retiro, one of the winery’s most emblematic properties, located in the heart of the Douro. Visitors can enjoy guided tours of the vineyards, production facilities and historic cellars, where the wines mature in oak barrels.

Guided tastings are a central element of the wine tourism proposal, with tastings ranging from classic Port wines to exclusive selections of limited editions. For the most passionate wine lovers, the winery offers premium tastings and pairing activities, where wine is combined with local products, such as cheeses or artisanal chocolates. In addition, its museum in Vila Nova de Gaia allows visitors to discover the history and evolution of the winery through documents, photographs and original objects that tell the story of its development over the years.

Ramos Pinto’s approach adapts to different visitor profiles, from wine connoisseurs to tourists looking for a cultural immersion. With activities such as vineyard tours, outdoor picnics and special events, the winery connects visitors to the region’s natural environment and winemaking tradition.

Innovation and commitment to excellence

One of the aspects that has enabled Ramos Pinto to remain a benchmark throughout its history is its ability to innovate without losing sight of its roots. The winery has implemented sustainable viticulture practices to preserve the unique Douro ecosystem, adopting techniques such as efficient water management and respect for biodiversity. These initiatives not only guarantee the production of high quality wines, but also contribute to the sustainable development of the region.

In terms of production, Ramos Pinto has been able to balance the use of traditional techniques, such as manual harvesting, with modern technologies that optimise the winemaking processes. This hybrid approach results in wines that combine authenticity and precision, which has led the winery to receive numerous international awards and recognitions.

Commitment to quality is a fundamental pillar for Ramos Pinto, which is reflected at every stage of the process, from the selection of the grapes to the final bottling. This level of excellence is also reflected in its wine tourism experiences, designed to offer visitors a complete and enriching experience.
