Founded in 1638, Kopke is recognized as the oldest Port Wine House in the world. Its legacy is deeply rooted in the rich history of the Douro Valley, a region renowned for its exceptional wines. Long before the Douro Valley was officially demarcated, Kopke was already making its mark, establishing a reputation for high-quality wines that continues to this day.
The purchase of a farm in the Douro in 1781 marked a significant shift for Quinta S Luiz - Kopke, transitioning from a wine-buying company to a prominent wine producer. Over the years, Port Wine became the company's primary focus, culminating in the acquisition of Quinta de S. Luiz in 1922. This historic estate has allowed Kopke to honor its legacy, built on passion and dedication through generations.
The Upper Douro, located in northeast Portugal, is the oldest demarcated wine-growing region globally and a UNESCO Cultural World Heritage site. Kopke's choice of this region is no coincidence; the challenging conditions of the Douro Valley yield exceptional grapes, albeit with higher production costs. The winery cultivates renowned grape varieties such as Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, and Tinta Roriz, which are essential for producing high-quality red and white wines. Kopke is particularly known for its Colheita Tawny Ports, including unique white Colheitas, and offers a distinguished selection of premium still wines (DOC wines).

Check out verified reviews from visitors who've enjoyed their time at Quinta S Luiz - Kopke: The Oldest Port Wine House.
Write a reviewI visited as part of a tour. The short visit felt quite rushed and as if it was targeted to getting as many people through the tour as possible. There was both an English language and Portuguese tour happening at the same time, which at times made it difficult to hear the guide. That said, it's a beautiful vineyard and the wines we tasted were lovely. I'm sure on a sunny day it's even more stunning.

Aimed at HEAVY VEHICLE DRIVERS. Mr. Bruno, who did the unloading, is very friendly. The unloading is done quickly and very carefully. The location is a bit difficult to access for a semi-trailer, but it arrives safely.

Douro with elegance and beauty! The farm is historic and offers tours and wine tasting. Very cool boutique hotel. Excellent restaurant, the best codfish rice soup ever. Super friendly staff! I recommend it!

O Douro doesn't have a better visitor's card than Quinta São Luiz. Location, view, gastronomy, wines and wines allow a perfect combination of nature and home. The restaurant, excellently oriented by Chef Vitor Oliveira, explains the local foods, describing a unique flavour, a perfect combination of flavours, accompanied by Sandra Tavares, who describes all the meadows, in a unique way, which makes us happy to try everything, a gastronomical delight incrível. We feel welcome to return to a phenomenal experience. Parabens

Incredible place! We didn’t expect it to be so beautiful. Check in wasn’t easy, because all parking was taken by tourists guest and we had a night in hotel. There is no parking only for hotel guests, so we had to make 3 rounds around the territory and repark later. Room is amazing, bed is comfortable. Water in shower goes from warm to cold and back by itself. Water pressure is good. We would like to come back some day! I would love to come back
