Quinta do Bomfim

One of the bigger groups which include brands such as Grahams and Dows. Tour was quite good, for both newbies to port or people with some knowledge or port and want to know more of the area and the making of port. The tasting was good, we picked the tasting which included both still wine and port. The tasting room and property itself is located next to the the Douro River so some great vantage points!

Bomfin Winery was our destination for a day's drive from Porto to the Douro Valley wine region. The winery has a good sized visitor parking area and sits along the Douro beside the quaint town of Pinhao ( 5-10 mins walk from Bomfim). There's a large patio with good views of the river & slopeside vineyards. Several reds and some white wines are available for tasting. There's a good selection of Ports for sale, as Bomfim is part of the large Symington Estates co. The drive from Regua to Pinhao is very scenic.

Did the tour and tasting. Antonio was an excellent guide. We ejoyoyed all their wine but would have likes the ability to get some food with it. There is a restaurant onsite but only open certain hours. The gift shop is incredible. You can get port from several places here at great prices.

Want to see where all the grapes for the best ports come from? Then visit here and get an excellent guided tour plus some brilliant ports to taste. I never knew the distinction between ports of the best times to drink them. It was a brilliant education.

After a day of port tasting, we stopped by Quinta do Bomfim’s tasting room, and it was the perfect way to end our visit to the Douro Valley. Getting there was easy—the parking was simple to find, and from there, it was just a short walk to the tasting room. Upon arrival, we selected our ports and snacks, opting for the vintage mix of ports and wines, paired with a cheese platter and crisps. The view was absolutely stunning—we sat overlooking the water, enjoying perfect weather, which made the experience even more special. Overall, great wines, great service, and an unforgettable setting. Highly recommend stopping by if you’re in the Douro Valley!

delicious food with fresh and well paired ingredients, amazing service and beautiful view!

It was amazing to taste wines in their beautiful terrace. The view was just spectacular. We took the set with 3 wines and also got cheese plate. The wines were refreshing, but I think for the price the provided amount could be more. The cheese plate was tasty but we couldn't finish as some was sheep cheese which we can't eat. I would definitely recommend a visit here.

We really enjoyed our time here. I think the wine tour would be better in September when the harvest is in full swing. As you can only imagine how different the atmosphere would be. We tasted the port afterwards and the knowledge of the staff was exceptional

We had a great experience at the wine tasting today. Our guide told us the history of the property and winemaking in the region before letting us taste three different types of port. Beautiful property and wonderful experience.

I stopped at this winery for a tasting of table wines. I was able to get a flight of three without Port (I don't care for it). The wines may be good, but sadly they weren't in a style I care for, especially the white. However, the property is really nice inside and the staff were professional and courteous. The patio was over the top with a spectacular view. I was in heaven. This was my second winery stop so I ordered a cheese board to counter the wine and to stand-in for lunch. It was fantastic with goat, sheep, and cow cheeses. Pinhão seemed oddly quiet on this beautiful September Monday morning so I was fortunate to have patio seating. There's a very spacious indoor area with window walls but the patio is prime real estate. You can easily walk here from the train station. I had a wonderful experience.

This is also only a review about the restaurant Bomfim 1896 with Pedro Lemos. Went to see Douro river area on a rainy day for lunch. Used to go to Restaurante DOC by Rui Paula but understood them to be closed for remodeling. Reception and parking was fine and since we were early they provided us with drinks while the table was prepared. Made reservation via Fork. Food, service and ambience was very nice. Various dishes ordered are in pictures. Reasonably priced for level of service and quality provided.

We had an excellent wine experience at Quinta do Bomfim. The farm/winery is part of the Symington Wine Group and is the producer of the premium Dow port wines. This tour unlike the ones you experience in Porto is focused on the actual production of the wine versus a wine centric experience. As part of this excursion we got to see the key processes used in making the wine from receiving grapes from the vineyard, to the automated sorting of the grapes, to the automated pressing of the grapes to extract the juice, fermentation of the grapes into wine and eventual pumping of the juice to large stainless steel vats to hold the juice for eventual transport to Porto for barreling and cellaring . A very impressive operation to behold in particular the pressing and fermentation equipment. Aside from the production process this experience also includes excellent discussions and show and tells on the history of this Quinta and its focus on production of Dow ports and a tour of their small cellar where the main cellar is in Gaia with the other major Port producers in this region. Relative to the staff and our tour guide, this is clearly a strength of this Quinto and Wine experience where their knowledge and experience clearly is superior to other wineries we have visited in the area. These folks have excellent knowledge of the business and their Quinta and not the cursory high level fact sheet based knowledge that we have seen at other wineries. This added so much to the experience for me personally allowing me to ask delving questions and further my knowledge on wine in general and more specifically on Port which was a main goal for me on this trip. Nice! Overall a truly excellent experience and one not to be missed if you are in Pinhao and are a fan off all things wine!

This review is actually for Bomfim 1896 with Pedro Lemos. We made a reservation last minute and the food was amazing. White glove service from the waitstaff was brand new experience for me. The ambiance is superb overlooking the Duoro River.

Outstanding vineyard and winery! Great behind the scenes tour of winemaking process. Awesome views.

Booked an advance tasting online. I'd advise to hold booking until arrival but confirm time of language tour preferred in advance. Our train ran 30 mins late so had to start tour later and bump train connection. Not ideal, but staff were helpful in working with us to move tasting to before tour and allowed us to leave bags to walk grounds. Beautiful views from tasting room. Familiar ports so knew what to expect in tasting but regional wines may be a consideration for those wanting to try something new.

The views of the river while tasting wine was breathtaking. We were beyond fortunate to have Leonor serving us. She was exceptional at wine pairing. Additionally, if we found a wine we enjoyed she was at ease to recommend another that would fit our pallet. We were blessed to have her enhance our experience!!! It was SO phenomenal we were able to find 24 bottles to ship home. I HIGHLY recommend you asking for her when you visit, as you will not be disappointed.

The guide did not introduce herself and was not warm or welcoming. People had travelled far and wide to be there. This welcome was insulting. The group visiting were a very varied mix of couples and families with clearly either little knowledge of Port or a hugh amount, including wine professionals. the guide did nothing to engage with the group and she simply prattled a load of disconnected random facts, many of them inaccurate, to the one or two people who stood close enough to her to hear. most people got bored and wondered off. of all the hundreds of wine visits I have done over the wine world this ranks in the bottom 5.

Winery that has been in the family for centuries. We visited this location as it was suggested as one of the top in the area. The tour was very informative of the wine making process. The wine tasting section of the tour offered a variety of their pinots. Me and my daughter enjoyed the ambiance and the outstanding customer service. There is a large outside balcony where you can have your tasting or just sit and enjoy the view. This was an lifetime experience as I was celebrating a milestone birthday and Bomfim made it exceptional. Me and my daughter both purchased a bottle to bring back to the states.

We just completed the most wonderful tour of this port producing winery led by Leonor, our guide. Absolutely beautiful facility, very interesting tour, delicious tastings, and Leonor was exceptionally informative and delightful. If I could give 10 stars I would.
