We start our day with a visit to the Quinta de Santa Eufêmia, founded in 1864 and managed by the fourth generation of the family, who has been producing these excellent Port wines, maintaining the ancestral know-how of winemaking and aging. Located on the left side of the Douro River, the vineyard produces grapes of the richest varieties, in the traditional way and fermented in granite vats in order to extract their fine essences and aging in oak casks. Lunch will be served at a local restaurant. After lunch we will continue our tour with a visit to the Quinta do Pôpa, acquired in 2003 by the Ferreira Family. Located in the heart of the Douro, in the hot and dry region of Cima Corgo, this estate has a high quality soil, from which rise the vines planted on the terraced hills along the banks of Douro, with a favorable climate and noble castes. The production method reconciles the most sophisticated techniques with centuries of rigorous tradition, such as vinification by treading the grapes in granite presses at a controlled temperature.
