It’s official, Spring 2025 has (finally!) sprung in Douro Valley, and not just by our calendars and our clock, but also by the birds, the bees, the flowers, and the trees.
I will not steal nature’s vibrant show this time of year with too many words, and let some recent photos and captions speak for themselves.
Bud break in the vineyards, and verdant Spring growth.
Enjoy the flower power along our certified 4 km walking trail; the happy bird song, majestic views, and a Porto Cocktail under our wisteria-shaded B&B pool terrace sure are rewarding.
Harvesting wild asparagus from under our olive trees for dinner, and bouquets of poppies, squill, lupin and dandelions from between our vineyard rows.
Freshwater turtles emerge from nests in our dry rocks walls to find their way into Tedo River while spotted salamanders frolic under warm Spring rain showers.
Michelin-recommended Bistro’s Terrace citrus shaded esplanade is open, and Chef Oscar’s codfish fritters are tastier than ever!
Marta hard at work preparing samples from our underground barrel tunnel to blend a new batch of 10 Year Tawny with head Winemaker Jorge Alves.
Fantastic weather and our charming Tasting Room, B&B, Bistro Terrace, smiling Team Tedo and pawed mascots await you at Quinta do Tedo.
