Located in the stunning Douro Valley, the world’s oldest viticultural appellation, Quinta do Tedo is a gem where terraced vineyards rise above the Douro and Tedo rivers.
Owned by Burgundian Vincent Bouchard and Californian Kay Steffey Bouchard, this 18th-century estate has been thoughtfully restored. By blending traditional viticulture with modern technology, they produce exceptional Douro DOC wines, Ports, and Extra Virgin Olive Oil that reflect the unique terroir of the region. Quinta do Tedo is a pioneer in sustainable agriculture, being one of the first Porto producers to adopt responsible farming practices. In July 2011, the estate achieved certified organic status after a three-year conversion process.
The estate's vineyards, averaging 35 years in age, yield 3,400 kg per hectare (1.5 tons per acre). This low yield enhances the concentration and complexity of their red and rosé Ports and Douro DOC wines. Knowledgeable and friendly guides lead tours, sharing insights while you enjoy breathtaking views. Visitors can also interact with the estate's dogs and horses. Daily tours and tastings are available, complemented by an on-site bistro, B&B, and certified walking trails along the Tedo River and through the organic vineyards and olive groves.
Quinta do Tedo's organic grapes are sourced exclusively from the estate’s 14 hectares (35 acres) of classified “A” vineyards, the highest rating from the Portuguese Instituto dos Vinhos do Douro e Porto, akin to Burgundy’s Grand Cru. Remarkably, less than 2% of vineyards in the Douro Valley hold this classification.
The estate cultivates over 24 native Portuguese grape varieties, including Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, Tinta Roriz, and Tinta Barroca. These grapes contribute to Quinta do Tedo’s acclaimed red and rosé Ports and Douro DOC wines, celebrated for their rich flavors and quality.

We spent one night at the Quinta do Tedo in November 2024. The location is wonderful, in the center of the Douro valley, just above the river with views of the vineyards and olive groves all around. We were well taken care of, took advantage of the free tasting and vineyard tour, and of the Bistro Terrace Restaurant on site. It was luxurious being able to spend the evening at the vineyard, eating and drinking on-site without having to use our car. We had the Ruby room which was very comfortable with a nice view over the Rio Tedo and the Tedo vineyards. Breakfast in the dining room of the restaurant was delicious with ham, cheese, fresh-baked bread, butter, jams, juice, coffee and scrambled eggs.
