Sixteen Essential Winery Hotels in Europe

"Quinta da Pacheca Wine House Hotel is an 18th-century manor house on a working Douro Valley winery that combines classic charm with contemporary interior design and up-to-date boutique-era comforts. Along with traditional hotel rooms you’ll find two rows of pod-like cabins made from decommissioned wine barrels, just big enough for a cozy bedroom and bathroom and an outdoor terrace overlooking the vineyards." - Mark Fedeli

Quinta da Pacheca is every bit as magical as it looks online—and somehow even better in person. We stayed in one of the iconic wine barrels, and it lived up to every expectation. The inside was beautifully designed, exactly as pictured, and the back porch had us sitting with our feet practically in the vineyard. Waking up to a panoramic view of the vines was something special. Breakfast was delivered directly to our barrel and it was incredible—abundant, fresh, and beautifully presented. The coffee was hot and strong, just the way mornings should start. The grounds of the estate are stunning—immaculate, peaceful, and full of character. We spent time by the pool, which was refreshingly perfect on a warm afternoon, and felt completely immersed in the beauty of the Douro. The staff couldn’t have been more welcoming. From check-in to checkout, everyone was friendly and helpful. We were treated to a mini-tour and tasting that was both fun and informative—a great introduction to the wines of the region, and to Pacheca’s own impressive offerings. Everything about this place is steeped in elegance and charm. If you’re looking for a place that delivers comfort, experience, and pure beauty—Quinta da Pacheca is it.

We had our wedding here and if I could give it 1,000 stars I would! Everything was truly exceptional. The staff are kind and accommodating. It’s clear they take pride in their job and want all of their guests to have a good time. The property is stunning. I have been in September for harvest and stomped grapes with a Portuguese band and in May for our wedding. Both times of year are beautiful. I love to travel and never have I found a place that I want to keep coming back to as much as Quinta da Pacheca! Very deserving of the Michelin guide recognition! I heard from many of our guests it was the best wedding they have ever been to. I feel lucky to have found such an amazing place and will be back for anniversaries to come 😊

I came here for a wine tour for four of us. Lovely grounds however the tour is not worth the money. Spent 1 hour on my feet listening to the guide. Finally we got around to the wine tasting. The wine tasting was 25 euros plus we added small plates at 14 euros each x4. The wine samples of two wines and two ports were meagre portions of approx 25 mls a couple of slurps. Very disappointing. We ordered sausage and got processed sliced meat. I am sure there are better wine tasting experiences in the area. Please shop around.

Not to sound dramatic, but our stay at Quinta da Pacheca was one of the best we’ve ever had! From the moment we drove up to the minute we pulled away at the end of our stay it was five star perfection. Our room, GORGEOUS! The staff, AMAZING! The pool, DREAMY! The food, DELICIOUS! Our wine class, PERFECTION! The cocktails, INCREDIBLE! The grounds, BREATHTAKING! We could not recommend this place more! If you’re planning a stay in Douro, book at Quinta da Pacheca! You will not regret it! We wish we stayed longer. It was so relaxing. And all around the best!

Been to Quinta da Pacheca twice now - because once just wasn’t enough, both times arriving on the semi-historic Miradouro train (okay, if you count the ’60s and ’70s as history, it’s basically full-on historic). Got there on foot like a wine-thirsty pilgrim, walking 45 minutes through the countryside from the Peso da Régua station (thank you, Douro Valley, for the vibes). It’s worth every dusty step. The whole place has that effortless glamour — like a photoshoot disguised as a vineyard. Fancy without being snobby. You can chill outside on the terrace, or inside where it’s all curated wood, soft lighting, and the kind of music that makes you swirl your glass slower. The prices won’t make you cry, but don’t expect to get drunk on a budget. The white Moscatel Galego? A flirt in a glass. Or grab a cocktail and pretend you’re the mysterious guest with a secret past. One day, I’ll stay in one of those oversized wine barrels. For now, I just drink the contents and call it immersive research.

Finished our stay at Quinta Pacheca. Learned so much about Porto and Wine production as well as the evolution of the Valley over the last 30 years thanks to our host and guide Hugo. The venue is like in the movies. Was enchanting and peaceful as well as reasonably priced. Found some good wine and Porto. Highly, Highly recommend the experience here.

Wineries live from the dedication of people working there. Quinta de Pacheca more than lives up to that. The love, dedication and passion is all around over here. The people, the wines and the food is from another star! Special thanks to Sandra, who made our visit an experience I will never forget. I'd love to see you and the entire team in the winery again soon! You make this place special.

What a lovely place, beautifully landscaped, modern equipped rooms amidst old style winery. Excellent restaurant and friendly staff. Their wines are excellent particularly enjoyed their white wines, rated very highly. Wished we could have stayed a few more days.

BEAUTY ALL AROUND!!!! DELICIOUS PORTS AND SUPER FRIENDLY STAFF! This is the most picturesque winery I have ever been to! It is also one of the oldest wineries in the valley. I booked the tour to the this winery because it was recommended by our hotel (24€ pp) . We got there 10 mins before the tour. Parking was right at the entrance and plenty of space to park. Next we headed to the wine shed for our checkin. Then we waiting for our tour to begin. The tour guide was super knowledgeable and explained us the details the difference between port and wine and walked us through the different stages of wine making! The last but not least was tasting the wines and I have to say that QDP went all out on this. We have tasted some of their finest selection and all 5 were phenomenal. We eneded up buying 20 year aged Port and 40year aged port. After visiting here we came to know that this is also a hotel. Next time I am definitely staying there .

This place is so picturesque! We stopped by as part of a tour of Douro Valley. We are not big wine drinkers so we just wanted to visit a vineyard and have a tour. We've never experienced or seen wine grapes or olive trees, this place has an abundance of both and different varieties of g. They were able to accommodate us and our tour guide gave us a tour of the grounds. It had really well maintained grounds, gift shop, and various other amenities. On our next trip here, we plan to spend a few days here. Just gorgeous!

Amazing hotel, great service. We loved the tour and wine tasting. All the staff was accommodating and friendly. We especially loved staying in private barrel rooms, we enjoyed breakfast in our rooms delivered straight to our door, we wish we could've stayed another day but the barrels were pretty booked up. Their 30 year tawny port is absolutely fantastic!! Definitely need to try this place

We had a memorable wine tasting at one of the oldest port and wine Quinta in Douro. Quinta da Pacheca is one of the most prestigious and recognized properties in the Douro Region. The history of the vineyard in this property dates back to the XVI century when it was a collection of vines that belonged to the Monasteries of Salzedas and St. João de Tarouca. The winery is known for their famous Barrel Hotel Room rentable unit when you can virtually sleep in a barrel after enjoying your Pacheca wines! Very fitting! Our tour guide Hugo was very knowledgeable and gave us a full recap of centuries of Port wine history. The restaurant definitely deserves a special mention as the food is absolutely divine. Their leg of Lamb is just earthy and cooked to perfection. Their version of octopus thinly sliced and presented with such a pleasurable refinement is also worth mentioning. Our escapade at Pancheca was one of the very high point of out trip to Portugal!

This was one of the best experiences of my life! As soon as we arrived, I wanted to blow out our other travel plans and stay more nights. The hotel is beautiful and the room was one of the bigger ones I had in Portugal. The wine tour and tasting experience was top-notch. We had dinner at the Wine House restaurant and did the tasting menu with wine pairing. Everything was delicious and fresh and we were able to taste amazing fish, foie gras, steak, and more. There was even a ginger palate cleanser and a tasty dessert. The wines were excellent. And the price was so reasonable I had to read it again! It was a little jarring the next day when we went to the same restaurant for breakfast and it was not a lot of selection and poorly prepared.

Top class. Although we unfortunately were not able to snag a room in their uniquely beautiful wine house barrel rooms as they book out way in advance, we knew we had to make a trip to the winery. Located less than 2 hours from Porto, towards the beginning of Douro Valley, this quaint winery served our favorite red wines. Hands down the best reds we met in Portugal, even our family back home loved the wines we brought home! The winery itself was absolutely stunning - such a serene and romantic experience... highly recommend!

If you are lucky enough to reserve a wine barrel room, good for you! I almost had a chance because of how planned I started off but outside logistics held me up. The rooms are real nice but you do pay a premium for them. In about 2016, business for winery stays started booming. Before then, there were about 15 rooms with zero people staying most of the time. If you are doing it on your own, sometimes you can get a deal like free boat ride or if you tour agent/company books at a certain time or has a relationship with said hotel, they can maybe get these extras as well. Fresh juices and food abound. I wouldn't be able to provide the freshness they do but I can tell. Staff went out of their way to help me find restaurants and discuss opinions of which day I should do this or that etc. An experienced male staffer made me an americano free of charge and the night before, a lady brought my bags up w a cart even though I would've wanted to do it myself for the exercise but I was really tired from a not so great navigator and my phone not being navigation ready without using too much bandwidth to download this and that. Cheese , tomato, fruit, and meats are typical for Portuguese establishments. All of these offerings are so fresh. Wow. 3 hamlets in the premises. Red fruit drink does not have a label for what fruit it is and I cannot tell. They also offer fresh peach juice and not so surprisingly fresh squeezed orange juice. A travesty for a place in Portugal not to offer this as oranges are apparently cheap here and the process is easy enough (not easy to me haha). Breakfast is served between 830-1030. This seems to be a Portuguese standard. It is hard to fit everything in a day sometimes if your time is limited and since many things open at 9 despite this. Sometimes , I wish breakfast was typically available earlier but I know that that is the American in me. To get into your hotel room, you push the door open instead of pull it. The wine barrel rooms may be different. I had a free boat ride included with my purchase, but I didn't drive since the train ride to Pinhao is picturesque. The train was late and the directions to find the boat ride weren't the best. Even using Google maps, you have to realize that you have to go past the point to meet and then kind of turn around by crossing tracks, going on the side of a hotel, down through a garden until you find the exit to the dock area, and finally you find the company. The company has an app they want you to download for an audio tour but since I am not from the country, I have to be mindful of the data plan. I did get an international plan but there are still limits. The experience to get the boat ride and everything else was 4 star but I think the place is 5 star overall. They don't have to offer it at all. I had asked for this information in advance but they didn't want to give me the company name before I arrived in case I would cancel the hotel and go stay elsewhere. Another possibility is that they didn't decide the boat company until last minute. An included shuttle to/from Regua train station would be nice as it is recommended to do the train ride to Pinhao for the scenery. I personally didn't feel the hype but don't feel it is a bad thing either- so there is that. Winery tastings were excellent. I ended doing two and both were on site - one was free and the other included a more in-depth facilities tour- since it was supposed to rain with thunderstorms that day. Slight rain but no thunderstorms. You never know with these things. I was recommended to wait last minute to sign up for Pinhao winery tour because logistics with time might've been an issue and they would supposedly have spots but this dynamic is no longer true. Probably used to be late June - August but now probably need to book things in advance if May -September if easily accessible by train. They will add a guest relations person who can help with more thorough directions for future boat rides. They should consider a shuttle to and from Regua train station and also things like an arcade, board games, and a place for children as it is very family friendly except for the lack of activities for kids. IfnI could speak Portuguese and be paid well enough, maybe I could've been their guest relations person, haha I also used their pool, mini-gym, and had dinner at Pacheca. They comped me for the tour. Breakfast was already included in my stay. Pricy but I made sure to get the most I could for what I paid. Some locals I have bumped into feel this is overpriced for what you get and that there is fresh food offered at any of the locations because it is in a rich soiled valley where they can grow things and serve it fresh from their gardens directly.

Stayed in a regular room since the barrel shacks were all taken. Gorgeous vistas. Clean/modern facilities. Two restaurants, both were good and reasonable in prices. Swimming pool is nice, but note that they only offer a towel per person--don't lose it. Staff is quite friendly. Our tour was done by Fabio, and he was quite knowledgeable.

Wow! Is all I can say. After our wine and port tasting we had a leisurely lunch at the restaurant on the Estate. The staff was super friendly and attentive. Our meal was exquisite. We ordered the four course tasting menu with well paired wines and ports Check out our pics.

The initial lure of our stay here was the unique nature of the wine barrel and reasonable price with included breakfast. The location is beautiful, right off the banks of the Duoro and the cute town of Peso de Regua right across the river. Our stay started out with a complimentary tour of the winery (reserved in advance). The tour was about 30-40 minutes and the best part was of course tasting their wines and learning about the differences in types and ages of port wine. I did not learn a lot from the tour about the process of wine making but it was nice to see the cellar. Then we were brought to our room in the van at sunset with gorgeous views of the valley. The staff showed us around the room, including the well hidden storage closets. Seeing as it was winter and about 50 degrees F outside we didn't get to enjoy the patio. But the room was well heated. I liked the sunroof above the bed with a motorized cover for the morning when it is too bright. Unfortunately at night, the lighting inside is not great. It is very dim and hard to see. The bed itself is beautiful to look at and has some unique features like bedside light switches, and TV remote built in. But unfortunately not very comfortable. It sinks in the middle. The bathroom sink is also a beautiful design but poorly thought out for functionality, as the water splashes everywhere for more than a trickle! A complimentary small bottle of port is included as well. The continental breakfast is in the main dining room overlooking the winery. The dining room is beautiful, and the breakfast was fantastic! A lot of good options from the standards to more unique Portuguese options. They had sparkling wine and juice for make-your-own mimosas. Overall a good stay, the wine barrels are a unique option, but I wish they were as functional and comfortable as beautiful.

Great Port wine tasting! We had a small tour of the facilities and got to try one of the port wines from the barrel - it was really neat. Each port wine was wonderfully sweet!

One of the reasons as to why Portugal is [surprisingly] so magical is because of places like this. If you can find yourself here for a long afternoon and stay past sunset hour (radiance to perfection), then by chance, you might have one of the more transcendent vacation moments of your life. You likely will find yourself amidst a cool breeze most times of the year, but the wine will keep you warm. I like the aged red wine here best. #sublime

Very touristy. They told us they couldn't offer us a tasting because of two tour buses full of tourists they had booked. We bought two glasses and it was just ok. In the parking lot one of their employees almost ran me over. Stay away!!!

I had the chance to visit this Quinta during a Douro wine tour expedition. We tasted their vintage and rosé ports. They were all delicious ! The lady presenting us the wines was extremely friendly. She spoke perfect English and French. (Probably many other languages) The overall experience was great. The winery is beautiful with a restaurant and a hotel. Only downfall was that after trying the wines they did not want to let me buy a bottle and share it with friends. Only by the glass was allowed on their property.. which comes out to very expensive. I would recommend this winery for a good tasting experience, beautiful views and a friendly staff !

Awful experience at Quinta Da Pacheca. My husband and I took my parents on vacation to Portugal and booked two Queen rooms. We arrived to 2 rooms, both with 2 twin beds. The hotel was extremely rude and unaccommodating and said it was the fault of our rewards company. After contacting our rewards company, they let us know the hotel said they DID offer us an upgrade, and breakfast to "make it right". All of which was a complete lie. I would expect more from a high end hotel, and am insulted and shocked with how the situation was handled. I will not be back. The lack of honesty and professionalism is something I have never experienced.

Came here for lunch unexpectedly and we really enjoyed ourselves! Hubby had the chicken and mushroom dish and I had the chicken salad. The fruits and veggies in my salad were fresh and phenomenal. Both dishes were delicious. We also ordered a few glasses of wine (obviously) and the service was great. Loved the dining room area, which overlooked the vineyards. The Douro Valley is the best little secret ever!!
