Winemaking as a Passion

Sandra Tavares da Silva and Jorge Serôdio Borges embarked on their winemaking journey in 2001. Starting with no vineyards or wine, this dynamic couple shared a vision—a personal project fueled by their dedication and love for the craft.

The Meaning Behind the Name

The name Wine & Soul reflects their deep commitment to producing exceptional wines. From the beginning, they have tirelessly sought out remarkable vines in the Douro Valley, the historic heart of renowned Port wines, allowing each vine to express its unique character.

Winery Philosophy

Wine & Soul is built on a foundation of respect for the rich family legacy of winemaking in the Douro region. Their approach goes beyond tradition; they aim to enhance this legacy with a fresh perspective, blending time-honored techniques with innovative ideas.

Connection to the Terroir

With a strong appreciation for the Douro terroir, Wine & Soul focuses on single vineyard production. Each wine tells its own story, reflecting the specific vineyard from which it originates. As they deepen their understanding of each parcel, they refine the vinification process, ensuring a consistent standard of quality. Every detail matters, from vineyard practices to the design of the labels. Today, the wines of Wine & Soul are a testament to the passion and dedication of Jorge Serôdio Borges and Sandra Tavares da Silva for the Douro region.

Excellent tour, wine, and staff! Love a small, family-owned winery that cares so much for their craft. Highly recommend the port tasting and tour, I learned a lot.

Top 🍷 Above average wines, very competent and serious people, Service and experience that I have always recommended and always return to with my travelers and wine lovers. I do not identify with or agree at all with the comment of Mr. Tom L., who accompanied me 2 days ago (January 23, 2024).

What an exceptional wine tasting experience in the Douro Valley! Sandra offered us such a warm welcome before our tour and tasting with Jose. We loved learning about the history of Wine & Soul, and could tell their wines are a labor of love. Each wine we tasted was incredible and of amazing quality. It made it difficult to decide which bottles to bring home! This visit was a very special part of our trip to the Douro Valley region.

A small place to taste wines and see their process of creating wine from the grapes, to crushing them, to the vats, and then to the final product. The tasting room was really cute. It was upstairs in a little room with several small windows to peek out at the valley.
