HISTORIA
Detrás de nosotros queda una historia fabulosa y un pasado glorioso. Mirando hacia el futuro, mantenemos el firme compromiso de preservar un alto estándar de calidad en nuestros vinos y la confianza en una Compañía donde la precisión y la visión de continuar haciendo historia son preocupaciones constantes.
Fundada por Alvará Régio del Rey D. José I, bajo el auspicio de su Primer Ministro Sebastião José de Carvalho e Melo, Marqués de Pombal, el 10 de septiembre de 1756, la importancia de esta Ex-Majestática Compañía ha quedado claramente demostrada a través de los valiosos servicios prestados a la comunidad.
Desde 1960, la Real Companhia Velha ha sido gestionada por la familia Silva Reis, que ha dedicado todos sus esfuerzos a la producción de Vino de Oporto y Douro DOC, basándose en un estudio profundo del terroir duriense. La Compañía es propietaria de cinco quintas en el Alto Douro Vinhateiro: Quinta das Carvalhas, Quinta de Cidrô, Quinta dos Aciprestes, Quinta do Casal da Granja y Quinta do Síbio, con un total de 557 hectáreas de viñedos propios.

Álvaro Martinho is the agronomist responsible for viticulture at Quinta das Carvalhas. A Douro man through and through, he has made this Quinta his second home and knows it like the back of his hand. Visiting Carvalhas in the company of the charismatic Álvaro will prove to be a genuinely different and unique experience in the Douro, and in the world! With him you will not only learn about the Douro's terroir and the culture of its vineyards, but also discover a peculiar form of expression and analogy between the vineyards, the grape varieties and the people. In addition, there will be a wine tasting of the top of the range Carvalhas wines (white, Tinta Francisca, Touriga Nacional and Vinhas Velhas red), accompanied by a cheese and sausage board and to finish, a glass of Port wine.
Take a guided tour of Quinta das Carvalhas and experience the uniqueness of the Douro up close. Discover the history of wine while enjoying direct contact with nature—amidst the vineyards, Mediterranean forest, and gardens of this iconic estate—and with the people who work there. Return to the starting point to savor a glass of white, red, and port wine.
Enhance your Vineyard Guided Tour by choosing 'The Ruin,' a space with the memory of an old estate, for an outdoor wine tasting accompanied by cheeses and cured meats. Amidst terraced vineyards and old vines, enjoy the landscape and the deep connection between the land and the vineyard. Here, we invite you to indulge your senses with the premium 'Carvalhas Branco' and 'Carvalhas Touriga Nacional,' along with a glass of OPorto wine.
We invite you to explore the Douro universe of Real Companhia Velha for an unforgettable experience. Gather a group of friends and join us in celebrating the harvest at the iconic Quinta das Carvalhas near Pinhão, and at the innovative Quinta do Casal da Granja in Alijó.
At Quinta das Carvalhas, various walking trails are available and can be tailored to each group’s preferences, age, willingness to walk, and mood. Under the motto “Walking through the Douro, an unforgettable pleasure!”, Real Companhia Velha invites you to a leisurely moment in harmony with nature. After completing the trail, toast with a glass of Port wine.
One of the most beautiful wineries in Oporto. Essential.
