Nestled in the heart of the world's oldest demarcated wine region, Quinta do Couquinho is a true haven of wine and idyllic landscapes. Located in the "terra quente" (hot land) of the Douro Superior, the estate covers around 60 hectares, 50 of which are given over to vines and olive trees, interspersed with almond, orange, apple, fig and other fruit trees that make the area even more beautiful. Its prime location in the Alto Douro Wine Region, a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2001, makes it one of the most sought-after terroirs in the Douro.
