Quinta do Vale da Ermida
Quinta do Vale da Ermida was born in 2008, as a result of a dream of entrepreneurs who found the perfect terroir for a wine tourism project in the wonderful Alto Douro Wine Region. Classified by UNESCO in 2001 as Heritage of Humanity, sits a landscape that is the result of nature’s charms, men’s effort and imagination in its transformation.
Quinta do Vale da Ermida is located in the Corgo’s river margins, half way between Régua (13km) and Vila Real (10 km), and inside the perimeter around the vineyards that in 1756 Sebastião José de Carvalho e Melo - The Marquês de Pombal - was carefully demarcated by 335 large rectangular, flat, or semi-circular granite markers – called Feitoria as the place with the highest quality wine, the only that could be exported to England, commonly known as “Port Wine” from what was the first demarcated and regulated wine region in the world.
