Join the first Douro Boys Day
“Be greeted as a visitor, leave as a friend”
The Douro Boys have always enjoyed a good party. From Bordeaux to Brazil, these four quintas have coloured the world with their infectious spirit and superb wines. Now, for
the first time, they are celebrating at home in the Douro Valley – and you are invited!
Masterclass, music & more
Experience the deep hospitality and warmth of the Douro Boys on Saturday 17 October 2026 at Quinta do Vallado in Régua. Niepoort, Quinta do Crasto and Quinta do Vale Meão will join Vallado in personally serving their Ports and table wines in the extensive garden grounds for the inaugural Douro Boys Day. Find out for yourself why the Douro Boys wines have won fame around the world in the place they call home – the stunning Douro Valley.
The Douro Boys’ wines may have impressed top critics, but you don’t need to be an expert to enjoy them. Taste a few different wines with friends before deciding on a bottle you’d like to enjoy together on a rug or lounge chair. The ‘Douro Boys Day’ would not be complete without delicious regional cuisine to accompany the wines: Look forward to exquisite Portuguese dishes cooked by the team of Quinta do Vallado.
Soak up the relaxed ambiance from beside the swimming pool while gazing at the panoramic views. Unwind to the beats of the DJ while pondering your next glass – or two. There is no obligation at the inaugural ‘Douro Boys Day’ to do anything other than savour the luxury of time.
If you fancy a busier schedule or a deeper dive into the world of wine, then the Douro Boys have you covered too. Three special masterclasses will be held on-site to explore white, red and Port wines. Buy tickets for one or both and take advantage of this unprecedented opportunity to discover the best wines crafted by all four quintas in one place.

Spirit
“We want everyone to be able to experience the Douro Boys spirit whether you are a wine novice or a connoisseur,” say the Douro Boys. “Ultimately wine for us is about family, friendships and having fun together.”
There are plenty of opportunities for that infectious spirit to live on when the ‘Douro Boys Day’ finally comes to a close. Exclusive wine packages can be purchased at a special price as the ultimate souvenir. Take them with you on the day or have them shipped direct to your home if you live further afield.
What is harder to value, and perhaps priceless, is the joie de vivre of the Douro and wines of the four quintas who are now collectively sharing this at home for the first time.
Quintas
Are you looking for an enlightening wine-discussion paired with a stay in one of the best and most architecturally pleasing hotels in the whole Douro? Then you have to visit the Ferreiras!
