Villa Riotorto

Douro

At the heart of a wine producing estate is this converted country villa with pool and glorious views over the Rio Torto Valley, perfect for a relaxing family holiday surrounded by a bucolic landscape of orchards, vine-clad hills and enchanting valleys.


Once used to accommodate the field workers during the grape-picking season, this traditional country property has been completely renovated and equipped with all modern comforts and very comfortable interiors. The rental of this property includes a guided tour of the winery as well as a tasting. 

4 Nights Wine Weekends
During the harvest season in September, try one of the 4-nights “wine weekends” hosted by the producer himself, which includes a guided tour of the estate and getting involved in whatever “the job of the day” is (picking or treading grapes, mixing or tasting, bottling, etc) as well as a boat tour with picnic lunch and visit to a local Port winery.
