Visiting Quinta das Carvalhas is like experiencing the Douro from within – with vineyard work (such as pruning, digging, or harvesting), olive picking, and the rebuilding of traditional schist walls – all seen from the best angles of its landscape. It’s about witnessing very old vines and slopes with a 70-degree incline; admiring the Douro and Torto rivers; enjoying the fauna and flora in symbiosis. Throughout Quinta das Carvalhas, in addition to the vineyards, there are areas of woodland, forest, olive groves, and gardens, all built with ancient granite stones and schist terraces, where various species of flowers, plants, and aromatic herbs have been planted.
