BEAUTY ALL AROUND!!!! DELICIOUS PORTS AND SUPER FRIENDLY STAFF!…read more This is the most picturesque winery I have ever been to! It is also one of the oldest wineries in the valley. I booked the tour to the this winery because it was recommended by our hotel (24€ pp) . We got there 10 mins before the tour. Parking was right at the entrance and plenty of space to park. Next we headed to the wine shed for our checkin. Then we waiting for our tour to begin. The tour guide was super knowledgeable and explained us the details the difference between port and wine and walked us through the different stages of wine making! The last but not least was tasting the wines and I have to say that QDP went all out on this. We have tasted some of their finest selection and all 5 were phenomenal. We eneded up buying 20 year aged Port and 40year aged port. After visiting here we came to know that this is also a hotel. Next time I am definitely staying there .

The hotel is beautiful and the room was one of the bigger ones I had in Portugal. The wine tour and tasting experience was top-notch. We had dinner at the Wine House restaurant and did the tasting menu with wine pairing. Everything was delicious and fresh and we were able to taste amazing fish, foie gras, steak, and more. There was even a ginger palate cleanser and a tasty dessert. The wines were excellent. And the price was so reasonable I had to read it again! It was a little jarring the next day when we went to the same restaurant for breakfast and it was not a lot of selection and poorly prepared.

It even smells heavenly with the orange blossoms and rosemary all around the property. Had dinner both nights at the hotel as it was delicious, affordable for the area (which generally has considerably more expensive restaurants) and easy. Kids enjoyed the bar menu to have an earlier night of it (plenty of options for lighter dinners in the bar if you don't wish to eat heavy or late) and we loved our premium wine pairings with dinner. They also have an honor bar with all of their fabulous wines and some spirits for mixing, which was a nice touch. The breakfast was plentiful and very tasty. Wish it would start a little earlier (7? 730? would be great, but I believe it started at 8) but other than that, zero complaints. Our stay included a tour and tasting, which was truly educational for all. Our guide was the sommelier of the hotel and she also poured the wines at dinner. Our stay at the Quinta was a true highlight of our trip. I highly recommend it.

We were supposed to have a private lunch under an olive tree, but the weather didn't cooperate. That sounded lovely, but the back-up may have been even lovelier. They set up lunch for us in the wine cellar. It was such a beautiful space, the walls were lined with oak barrels and there was some cool art at the far side. The table was set so perfectly with a couple of bottles of wine, a charcuterie board full of different cheeses and meats, and a very tasty fruit salad. They thought of everything, even having a heater under the table. We had the entire cellar to ourselves, just the three of us. After lunch, we did a tasting and tour of the winery with a group. The day couldn't have been more perfect and I had an amazing experience here!

My husband and I really enjoyed the sardines and mussels tapas, but the star of our lunch was the veal. It was tender and flavorful, and the idea of the purée and the shiitake mushrooms were really delicious. I highly recommend getting this here! I wasn't a huge fan of the mussels pasta, but it was personal preference in terms of a certain flavor of the mussels I couldn't get past. Other than this note, the dish itself was really well prepared. The ambiance of the restaurant was really nice, and the service was very attentive. We would definitely consider coming back on our next trip here!

Restaurant, awesome, tour good TLDR…read moreWe had a beautiful lunch by the river in this open and airy restaurant. The staff and service were impeccable. A pair of us shared the ribeye for two which had great flavor and was more than we could handle. The other two had the veal which was very tender. All if the desserts were perfection, very light with an abundance of flavors. The only miss was the wine tour/tasting. My friend made the arrangements for our lunch and tour reservations, checked that we had sufficient time time between them. The restaurant knew we had a tour and the tour people knew we had lunch reservations. We showed up for the tasting and were sort of scolded for being late. And apparently we were supposed to pick our tasting in advance so after the tour we had to quickly choose. Unfortunately, because we felt rushed, we just picked the classic tasting which turned out to be just ports and none of us are fans. That's on us for not taking the time we should have so I'm not hold that against them. The tour guide was very enjoyable to listen to and seemed to have real joy for her job.

First, the staff was extremely accommodating as they adjusted their schedule for us to come a bit earlier. The picturesque view of the mountains, small towns, and vineyards were absolutely stunning! While it was a bit misty and rainy, the view was well worth the trip. You could also easily make a day of the visit as they have recommended hikes of 15 minutes, 30+ minutes, and 90 minutes through the scenic countryside. The staff was fantastic as Maria was extremely friendly, answered all of our questions, and walked us through the vineyards. She explained how each wine was made and walked us through the winery and full wine making process. We left with a much deeper knowledge and appreciation for the wine. Each of the wines were delicious and the tapas with the wine were very tasty - an added bonus! We got a great sampling of the wines and the tapas were local meats and cheeses that really hit the spot. We actually walked away with a bottle of each wine that we sampled as they were all very good and the bottles were very reasonably priced (4-6E). This was an amazing value, wonderful experience, and one that we will always remember. Thank you Maria and Quinta de Santa Cristina!

Beautiful location right on the vineyard…read more Full service hotel with spa, wine tasting, great food and excellent staff. Rooms are exceptional and a full breakfast is included in the main dining room. It's called a wine experience for a reason!!! From the moment we checked in we were welcomed with a glass of champagne. After check in, we went to the room, which was spacious, spotless and absolutely lovely. A bottle of champagne was on ice in the sitting area with a nice welcome note. Everything in this hotel was a 5 star experience. If this hotel was in Napa, it would easily be $1000 a night. So IMO, it's an exceptional value. The main are of the hotel has beautiful sitting areas with fire places. It's relaxing and calming. Besides the amazing wines, the food was very good. At dinner, the Sommelier paired wine with our dishes which was a nice touch. The staff was super friendly and helpful, especially when they pick you up by tuk tuk to take you the restaurant and then back to your room after dinner. The pool and spa are also a nice touch to complete this experience. I highly recommend this hotel. If you want to feel pampered and a little bougie this is the place.

All of them surrounded by the calming and gorgeous view of perfectly straight rows of plush, green vines. Our room was very modern and comfortable with a full wall window facing a view I won't forget. Even on the second night, it seemed as exciting as the first. I can't get enough of this place. It may take some time to find all the light and decipher all the switches and options but if you have trouble, the staff is very friendly and keen to help you. On our arrival we were greeted with a very welcoming glass of their own sparkling and they also brought our bags directly in our rooms while we were checking in. If you don't want to walk to your room, you can always ask for a ride in their golf carts. We did came back pretty late in the evening, but each night we gathered with our group in the lobby bar on the first floor of the main building. The bartender was very helpful and friendly. He made very pleasing recommendations and they had very interesting choices. I hope I get to go back.
