Quinta dos Murças

A remote, riverside retreat in Portugal’s Douro Valley, Quinta dos Murças is a oenophile’s paradise. The vineyard-flanked estate makes its own wine and olive oil; checking in to your room should be an afterthought when there’s liquid this good to get tasting in the cellar. But the decor doesn’t disappoint: the family-run farmhouse is full of Fifties flourishes, with sepia prints showcasing the grape-related history of both the building and the surroundings. And nearby, there are near-countless other quintas to visit and a handily located railway station to help you hop along between them (without a second thought for unit intake).

Quinta dos Murças is on the banks of the Douro River, in the heart of the namesake wine-producing region, east of Porto.
