Ventezolo Welcomes Visitors

Should you find yourself in the Douro region of Portugal then Quinta de Ventozelo have a warm welcome waiting for you. Bill Brogan of St Johns College Cambridge experienced this first hand when he led a group to the Quinta in November 2006. A tour of the steep terraced vineyards requires a 4 x 4 and is not for the faint hearted. The spectacular views of the 650ha estate and the surrounding Douro valley are definitely worth it.

A boat trip along the Douro follows in the afternoon which shows off the Quinta at its best. Finally a comprehensive tasting of the estate bottled wines and Ports rounds off an impressive day. Raphael Molezun the MD of Ventozelo says that the Quinta is the best advertisement for their wines and welcomes any Alliance customers who wish to visit.
