- Sarah C2 contributionsHighlight of our trip to DouroQuinta Bomfim surpassed our expectations, not only in terms of taste but also in the overall experience. The combination of innovative dishes, expertly recommended wine pairings, and top-notch service made it a culinary journey we won't soon forget. Despite the high quality of the cuisine, we found the pricing to be extremely reasonable, considering the artistry and flavor encapsulated in each plate. Quinta Bomfim proved to be the highlight of our trip, and we wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone seeking an unparalleled dining experience. This is a five-star establishment that deserves every accolade it receives.Visited November 2023Travelled as a coupleWritten 23 November 2023
- Tour419015238761 contributionWonderful Porto Wine Experience (Guide Visit + Wine Tasting + Vineyards)“Quinta do Bomfim” is located in an very beautiful place in Douro Valley, near the river. We did a guided tour with Leonor. She was very kind during the whole toor and provided us a very insightful view of Symington family, the firm and all their well-known subsidiaries and also about the full process of wine making. We ended up our tour in a delightful terrace with a view to the Douro river where we did our Porto wine tasting experience. Finally, we visit the vineyards and the rest of “Quinta do Bomfim”. We highly recommend this one to visit in your Douro Valley holidays!! Make sure your tour is with Leonor ;)Visited April 2024Travelled as a coupleWritten 27 April 2024

Our waitor, Gabriel, was very knowledgeable and patient, explaining each of our many wines. The quality of wine was also a bit higher than some of the other local tastings that mass produce. We enjoyed our picture taking here, especially around sunset!Visited April 2024Travelled as a coupleWritten 2 May 2024

Having arrived in the pouring rain we were informed that there was no availability for a wine tasting even though only 3 table were occupied and their policy is that you don't need to book for a tasting. We asked if we could at least visit their shop, this was allowed under duress stressing again that there was no space for a tasting. Having bought a bottle of their wine and 2 umbrellas at 25 euros each which were not branded and would cost ÂŁ2.00 each in the UK.
We phoned Carvalhas which was on the opposite side of the river to see if they had space for a tasting, their policy was the same as Bonfims, you did not need a reservation. We arrived looking like drowned rats having had to take our shoes off to wade through the water running out of Bomfim's entrance flooding the road.
We were greeted at Carvalhas by friendly staff who cared about their customers wanting to share their amazing wine and port. Their tasting room was like an old English library with leather wing backed chairs and high tables for your tastings.
We left having had a fantastic tasting experience, spoken to others from America and Canada purchasing one of their 40 year old ports.
I would highly recommend you visit CARAVALHAS and NOT Bonfim

Hello,
I hope you find it well!
We regret that your visit to Quinta do Bomfim did not meet expectations and we appreciate your feedback so that we can constantly improve our services based on the comments we receive, even if they are not always the best.
First of all, I would like to explain our reservation process and how it affects the experience of those who visit us. At our Visitor Center, we give top priority to those who make advance reservations. This is not only a matter of convenience, but also of ensuring the quality of the service we offer. When you book in advance, we can adequately prepare the space and the team to welcome everyone with the attention and care they deserve.
It is important to mention that, in many cases, the apparently empty tables that you noticed may be reserved for groups that are finishing their visits or are about to start. This is an essential part of our process to ensure a smooth transition between visiting groups and maintain the flow of activities at our Visitor Center.
Furthermore, I would like to address the issue of weather conditions. Unfortunately, on very rainy days, we face some limitations in terms of the space available to receive visitors. Our terrace, which is normally an additional area for us to welcome visitors, cannot be used in these adverse conditions, which significantly reduces the number of places available in our tasting rooms.
As for the umbrellas we provide, although you didn't mention it, we would like to highlight how our personalized products can add significant value to your experience and, at the same time, help to immortalize those special memories, so we believe you are asking for a fair value for them.
Once again, I would like to thank you for giving us the opportunity to address your concerns and I hope this explanation has clarified some of the points you raised. We deeply value your visit and your opinion, and are committed to continually improving our visitor experience.
We hope you will give us the opportunity to welcome you back soon and provide you with an even more pleasant experience at our Visitor Center.
If you have any further questions or concerns, do not hesitate to contact us.
Yours sincerely,
Bomfim's Team.

The last location that CMTours took us to was Quinta do Bomfim. It was the most modern of places that we visited. Bomfim is a large family run operation. They use stainless steel vats with stainless steel grape stompers. No human feet stomp their grapes. Wine is stored in large stainless tanks. They have a large tasting area.

We walked into Quinta Bonfim on the off-chance that we could book a tour and tasting within the next couple of days. The delightful Leonor responded that there was space on the tour starting in 5 minutes. The other group didn't show up and we lucked in to a fantastic private tour with Leonor. I think we might have enjoyed a tour at Quinta Bonfim anyway. The location and views are breathtaking. The facilities are great and the port and wine tasting were delicious. But what set it all apart was Leonor. She was passionate, knowledgeable, friendly, and just absolutely delightful to be in the company of. Would highly recommend!

After a port tasting at Quinta do Bomfim we had the joyous pleasure of lunch at their pop up restaurant. Chef Pedro Lemos uses local food. This was the best of many a good lunch in the Douro. Stunningly good food wine and service. Do not miss this restaurant it is brilliant.

Fabulous tour of Quinta do Bomfim. Our guide, Luis, was so knowledgeable and no question went unanswered. The vintage port choices were great. We loved the Vesuvio and when Luis told us we could also visit there on a day trip, we took this opportunity too (and that, whilst expensive, was one of the highlights of a port/Douro focussed holiday).

Dear Guest,
We are so pleased to know that you visited not only Quinta do Bomfim but also Quinta do VesĂşvio, which is one of the most emblematic properties of the Douro. We hope that our ports will become part of your life and that you share your memories and experiences with the ones that are closer to you.
Hope to see you in a near future

Very friendly, knowledgeable, tour guide, who was informative but kept things casual.
Great, unique high-end ports to try. Expensive, but fairly priced for what they are and what you get.
BUT, and I didn't realize this at the time, I think you can still enter and walk around the vineyards and buy tastes or glasses of the wines without purchasing the tour.

Quinta do Bomfim was our first stop after arriving by train in Pinhao. We decided to do the vineyard walk. They normally charge 5 euro because they give you an aluminum water bottle, a straw hat, and a map, but you are welcome to walk around free of charge if you don't want those things. The staff was very friendly and helped us choose which trails to walk along - the quinta is beautiful and we felt like we had the trails to ourselves! There are signs throughout that provide information about the quinta and the grapes. After the walk, we had a white port cocktail on the beautiful terrace. It was a perfect first stop.

Despite the cold November rain, these folks provided an informative (mostly indoor) tour of their port-production facilities. Interesting "museum" that I wish we'd had more time to study. Even if you've visited countless wineries, you'll find the tour and tasting of interest. Lovely location and nice gift shop.

Olá, tudo bem? Poderia me dizer por favor que tipo de "petiscos" são servidos na Quinta? Pois iremos chegar no Pinhão por volta das 12:30 e dependendo do menu pensei em comer algo na Quinta mesmo, assim não perdemos tempo almoçando e já vamos direto para a visita/picnic. Muito obrigado de antemão, um abraço!

Olá Aldo, eu e meu marido fizemos somente a degustação e tinha realmente “petiscos”. Se você optou pelo picnic, sugiro almoçar antes em outro local. Tem vários ótimos restaurantes ao redor da quinta, e depois faz o picnic no final da tarde.

Hello I wanna know should we make some reservation before visiting,or we’re able to do this directly over there?thx
Written 22 March 2019
Which train line did you take to the vineyards and how long was the trip?
Written 25 September 2018
We were based in Pinhão therefore not only did we not need a train in fact there wasn’t an option for a vineyard tour by train? There are numerous boat trips from which you can see all of them, although they didn’t stop!
However from PinhĂŁo you can walk to the Bodega Quinta do Bonfim or even to Calvahas which was spectacular. They have a bus which takes you way up into their vineyards in the mountains giving you some incredible views. At the end of the tour there is a well stocked shop and tasting room.
We hope you enjoy the Douro, we loved every second.

Hi, I'm trying to reserve the picnic lunch and they're telling me that they only accept bank transfer as a method of payment/making a reservation. Was this the case for you? Seems odd for a large vineyard to not accept credit card and I obviously don't want to pay the $50 fee that my bank charges for international wire transfers.
Thanks!
