Discovering Quevedo: Innovation in the heart of Douro
In the world of wine tourism, few stories are as fascinating as that of Quevedo, a winery which, despite its youth, has managed to position itself as a reference in the production of Porto wine.
Founded in 1993, Quevedo is the result of more than five generations of dedication to viticulture, a legacy that combines tradition and modernity at the heart of the Douro Valley.
The Quevedo family has achieved in less than three decades what many take centuries to accomplish: creating wines that are a pure expression of their terroir, while always keeping an eye on innovation and sustainability.
Quevedo’s commitment to excellence extends beyond winemaking. As we move into the 21st century, the winery has embraced wine tourism as a way to share its passion and knowledge with the world.
Their wine tourism proposition is not just an invitation to taste their exceptional wines but an opportunity to experience firsthand the rich history and promising future of viticulture in the Douro.
Exploring Quevedo’s wine tourism proposition
Quevedo stands out in the world of wine tourism by offering an authentic experience deeply rooted in the winemaking tradition of the Douro, while also incorporating a modern and accessible view of the wine world.
Located in São João da Pesqueira, in the heart of one of the world’s most prestigious wine regions, the winery offers visitors a complete immersion in the life cycle of Porto wine, from the cultivation of the grapes to the final tasting.
Quevedo’s wine tourism offering is broad and varied, designed to satisfy both wine enthusiasts and the most discerning palates.
Among its most notable experiences is the opportunity to navigate the Douro River on an exclusive boat, offering visitors a unique perspective of the stunning vineyard terraces that characterise this region.
This river journey is not just a trip through the landscape; it’s an invitation to understand how the Douro’s specific environment and microclimate contribute to the uniqueness of Quevedo’s wines.
In response to temporary limitations due to renovations at the winery, Quevedo has innovated by offering wine tastings in unique settings. The alternative of participating in a wine tasting aboard a boat enhances the wine tourism experience, combining the natural beauty of the Douro with the exquisiteness of its wines.
These experiences are designed to be memorable, allowing visitors not only to taste the wines but also to learn about the history and winemaking processes that make them unique.
Looking to the future, Quevedo plans to further enrich its wine tourism proposition with the introduction of new experiences at Quinta Senhora do Rosário.
These will include guided tours of the winery, more immersive wine tastings, and the chance to enjoy picnics among the vineyards, offering an even more intimate way to experience the magic of the Douro. Each of these experiences is designed to connect visitors with the land, tradition, and innovation that define Quevedo.
A vision for the future
The story of Quevedo is a testament to the power of perseverance, passion, and forward-thinking.
By participating in FINE #WineTourism Marketplace on the 13th and 14th of March 2024, Quevedo not only positions itself as a leader in Douro wine tourism but also as an ambassador of innovation in the winemaking industry.
Quevedo’s participation in this event is an exceptional opportunity for professionals and wine enthusiasts to discover its unique approach to wine production and wine tourism.
