Visiting Quinta do Crasto was an unforgettable experience, combining breathtaking views, a fantastic tour, and exceptional wines. This estate is truly a gem in the Douro Valley, and I highly recommend adding it to your itinerary if you’re exploring the region. We originally came across it in Worlds Beat Wines and decided to give it a shot. The tour was incredibly insightful—our guide walked us through the history of the estate, the vineyards, and the winemaking process, making it both educational and engaging. We got to see the cellars where the wines age and learn about the techniques that make Quinta do Crasto’s wines so special. The wine tasting was outstanding—we sampled a selection of red, white, and port wines, and each one showcased the quality and character of the region. The balance, depth, and flavors of their wines were truly remarkable. One of the best parts of the visit was relaxing on the terrace, which offers panoramic views of the rolling vineyards and the Douro River below. The scenery is absolutely stunning, making it the perfect spot to enjoy a glass of wine. The pool area is another standout feature—although we didn’t swim, it’s one of the most scenic pools I’ve ever seen, perched above the valley with unparalleled views. Between the amazing tour, top-tier wines, and incredible setting, Quinta do Crasto is a must-visit in the Douro Valley. The combination of great hospitality, stunning landscapes, and fantastic wines makes this experience one to remember. Highly recommend!

A True Gem for Wine Enthusiasts! I recently had the pleasure of visiting kissing winery (musi in Estonian 🇪🇪) and I can confidently say it exceeded all my expectations. From the moment you arrive, the breathtaking scenery sets the tone for an unforgettable experience. The guy is positive and super knowledgable about winery! Amazing 🫶

Once in a lifetime experience. Antonio, Gloria and their Olive Tree farm have impacted my life forever. They are such welcoming people that I host differently now when we have people over. They are full of life and friendliness. He takes you on a tour of their Olive tree farm but really it feels like being in the garden of Adam and Eve. There are fig trees, cork trees, berries (I forget the name of) and while we were there you could hear the neighboring olive tree farmers singing and joking with each other through the trees. Then he shows you how he processes the olives into oil followed by an incredible feast made by Gloria. We were there for 6 hours and would have stayed longer if I wasn't so tired from all our traveling. One day I hope to return and until then I think of that day often.

What a great place. We stayed here overnight with our motorhome and booked with a company called Portugal EasyCamp. The area is lovely and what they have achieved for bees is tremendous. Their products are lovely and they have such a wealth of knowledge. An excellent experience and highly recommended.

Antonio senior and Antonio junior were perfect for our half day private boat tour in the Douro Valley. Their boat is right next to the Ferrao train station and they are a wonderful team! The boat is so majestic and in fantastic condition from the 1970’s. There is a bathroom if you need and plenty of space to roam around in and out of the cabin. The sunshade is great for the intense sun during midday. We especially loved hearing about the region and tasting the wines—all accompanied by their family jams and appetizers! We even docked the boat for a second for a quick dip in the Douro river—truly the highlight of our trip!
