Quinta de Valinhas

“We believe that Wine is made in the Vineyard, and so we pursue excellence in viticulture. Good grapes make good wines, wines that bring moments of joy and pleasure to those who share them with friends and family, seated at the table.”

The Estate

One Estate, One Family, the Origin of a Company

Quinta de Valinhas lies in the Sousa river valley, in the parishes of Unhão and S. Cristóvão de Lordelo, in the municipality of Felgueiras.

The Meireles family has kept and farmed it since the 17th century, building on and enlarging the landholding ever since. It reached its final shape at the beginning of the 20th century, with 32 hectares of land, 22 of them given over to vines.
