Quinta de Santa Marinha is a wine and tourism estate in Castedo do Douro, in Portugal’s Alto Douro region. Set above the Douro River, its historic house is closely connected to the area’s culture, vineyard landscape and heritage. The estate welcomes visitors for wine tastings, weekend breaks, retreats and longer stays, offering a place to experience the region and enjoy its distinctive scenery.

Its wine tourism activities introduce guests to the longstanding traditions of growing vines and olives in the Douro. Visitors can learn about the seasonal customs and practices that have shaped the land, and take part in activities linked to the region’s agricultural heritage. Quinta de Santa Marinha also offers a hands-on opportunity to create a personal Douro wine. Participants may join the grape harvest and traditional grape treading, then taste the wine they helped make. Those interested can sponsor a chosen number of vineyard terraces or vines and produce their own wine.
