"Life is good, but wine is better" - Fernando Pessoa
It was once a centennial house. The first to bottle wine from his own brand. It was once a perfect match between the traditional History of the Douro Lands and the Contemporary Hotel concept. It was once Quinta da Pacheca, The Wine House Hotel which, with its open doors every year, with a familiar treatment and detail, welcomes its guests to provide a unique wine-themed experience. Partake in an ageless rural activity. Visit The Wine House Hotel in the different seasons of the year and enter the world of the vineyards of Douro that present flavours adapted to the weather. Complement the flavours that the wines offer, with the traditional cuisine prepared by Chef Carlos Pires, who risks the paths of innovation of our authentic heritage.
The story that we tell merges with the history of its own landscape, full of terraces and abundant in vines. From the cave paintings dating back 20 thousand years to be conquered by D. Afonso Henriques to the Moors, Douro Vinhateiro reflects all its historical light that receives from the sun, illuminating the land and the valley in a unique way. You cannot miss this phenomenon, see with your own eyes.
This is the home of the Serpa Manuel family. Maria, Catarina and José are the young faces behind such a rich and traditional property. The experience that the hosts wish to offer is their own passion! The possibility of being totally involved and integrated in a wine production, getting out of the routine, and proving the beauty of the Douro Valley.
To the family and business passion component is added a business management, by Paulo Pereira and Maria do Céu Gonçalves, entrepreneurs, who since 2012 have continuously followed and invested in the Quinta da Pacheca project, guaranteeing professionalism and sophisticated service.
Located in the Historic Douro Vinhateiro, Quinta da Pacheca allows unforgettable visits:
From Lisbon, head towards Viseu on the A1. Then take the A24 to Lamego. From Peso de Régua, cross the Marginal and cross the bridge over the Douro to the south bank of the river. Just outside the bridge you will find a roundabout.
Take the right towards Lamego, on the N-2. Just after the roundabout, pass a small bridge and turn immediately to the right, following the road that for a few hundred meters follows the river.
Continue straight ahead until you find a street on the right with Quinta's indication. Continue until you find the property gate on your left.
Walk through the tree-lined avenue and reach your destination.
