The small palace, called Villa Beatriz, was built by Francisco Antunes Guimarães, in honor of his wife Beatriz, in the late XIX century.

Nowadays it is qualified by IGESPAR, a government agency, as a cultural heritage monument.

Quinta Villa Beatriz production confines, exclusively to its crops, which has about 10,5 ha of vineyards.

It is produced with the varieties of grapes characteristic of this region, combined with the “terroir” of Vale do Ave region, and the fresh and rainy weather combined with the Atlantic breeze, making it possible.

The denomination ” Vinho de Quinta” – farmer’s wine, demands rigid norms of selection that one should never forget. Drinking a “farmer’s wine”, is like tasting a masterpiece which production is stricktly confined to one specific farm’s crops. Hence, the reduced offer of such wines!

There are two distinct trade marks – “Quinta Villa Beatriz” and “Terras de Lanhoso” – with the Villa Beatriz as the superior wine with the harvest year identification. Both young wines that combine perfectly with seafood and fish dishes, including sushi.

The winery, set in a rural building built in 1898, was restructured in 1991, with all the necessary and modern equipment.

Our wines only come into contact with the cork 48 hours after bottling.

Respecting a minimum aging period of one month, our wines are finely inspected and deemed ready for consumption.

The temperature control during fermentation, the modern equipment in our cellars, our meticulous attention, and the knowledge acquired through experience enable the production of these exceptional wines, allow their production.
