Porto Antigo was once a stopping point of the rabelo boats carrying Port wine from the Douro vineyards region. It’s a stunning setting since the Bestança river flows into the Douro, right here. It is one of the most beautiful viewpoints in the entire Douro region, S. Leonardo da Galafura. From this place there are legends and stories, a must stop for those who visit the Douro. Quinta de Ventozelo was once farmed by Cistercian monks who inhabited the region in the Middle Age. One of the oldest of the Douro estates, it has passed through different hands down the centuries, each moulding and transforming it into what it is today.
