In 2001, it was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site, celebrated for its exceptional wines and breathtaking landscapes. The wines from this region reflect its unique terroir and storied past.

A Family Tradition of Winemaking

The current owners are part of one of three family branches that have long been connected to the Douro Valley. This heritage allows Quinta do Silval to honor both the traditions of the region and the family’s legacy in winemaking.

Spanning 22 hectares, the vineyards are situated at altitudes between 100 m and 500 m, benefiting from optimal sunlight and nutrient-rich clay soils.

The oldest vines are 85 years old, while the youngest are 25, contributing to the winery's exceptional wine quality.

Excellent hotel on the basis of the fruit of a unique landscape and character of the Vale do Douro, which has many beautiful plants and vineyards. Não batasse a beleza envolvente, o staff muito simpatico e disponivel, ainda pudemos contemplar os nossos dias com os excelentes vinhos producidos pela quinta, sendo os seus Portos a cereja no topo do bolo.

Had a fabulous couple of nights here recently. Beautiful surroundings, breathtaking views and the pool is a wonderful addition. A particular mention to Christina and Beatrice. Christina was very helpful and great company. Thank you to Beatrice for taking the time to arrange a tour and tasting for us although very understaffed. Her knowledge and time + patience to answer all our question was a highlight of our whole trip to Portugal. Would recommend a stay here if you’re looking to get a taste of the Douro Valley.
