    I don't recommend this place. We visited at the end of March. We bought tasting with guided tour and paid €42. The tour was short, informative but nothing special. After that there was a tasting but you were not allowed to try until the guide finished talking about it. The portions were very small and we felt very underwhelmed by the experience. If was definitely NOT worth €42. There was also a referbuishment going on which really took away from the experience. It was dusty, messy and just not nice ... We let staff know about the disappointment we had and she agreed but didn't offer any reimbursement.

    We visited Quinta do Bomfim for a picnic on a very hot day in July, and it was one of our favorite experiences of our whole trip. We were welcomed by extremely friendly staff, and they gave us a map of the property and directed us to where we would have our picnic. After a bit of a hike through the vineyard, we arrived at a small house overlooking the Douro River valley, and had our picnic on the porch. The food was fantastic, the view was unbeatable, and we were the only ones up there so it was incredibly peaceful. The picnic came with a bottle of white wine, and we got to taste two different ports when we came back to the tasting room at the end of our picnic. At only 35€ each, we felt like we easily got our money’s worth with the high quality and amount of food and wine. Many vineyards offer tours and tastings, but this felt like a unique experience (and the port was one of our favorites as well).

    Gorgeous place and even more gorgeous wines! The Dow's ports made for a fantastic experience. The quinta was easy to get to on foot from the train station, the guide was very knowledgeable and tours are available in multiple languages.

    Quinta do Bomfim was a fantastic ending to a wonderful day in Portugal's Douro Valley in Pinhão. The wine, the breeze and the views were spectacular. However, the true gift of our visit was meeting Olha, our server. Her energy and wine suggestions were top notch.

    Location, location and location. Cannot get any better when you add the weather and the amazing wines. Hospitality with a smile. Do try to get a seat outside with the view of the river and try some amazing wines.

    We loved our visit here! Getting to walk through the vineyards on our own followed by a tour of the wine making process and ending with our tasting. Marta was our guide and she was fun and knowledgeable about the whole process and history of the winery and how port is made. She also helped us with a lunch recommendation and reservation. She truly went above and beyond and made our visit a memorable one. They provide the best quality wines and ports for the tasting too. Make sure to reserve at least a day in advance and don't miss Quinta do Bomfim during your Douro Valley visit.

    Quinta do Bomfim: A Delightful Yet Challenging Adventure A visit to Quinta do Bomfim starts off enchantingly with an affordable and picturesque ride on a vintage train through the beautiful Portuguese countryside. However, the charm slightly fades as you face a few challenges at the winery itself. Upon arrival, we were handed an outdated map to navigate a supposed 90-minute hike around the winery. This proved to be a misrepresentation, as the hike turned into a strenuous 2-3 hour climb under a sunny, dusty day, leading to my shoe breaking in the process. Including the return journey, the total time for the hike unexpectedly stretched to around 4-5 hours. The hike wasn't all difficulties, though. Along the way, we encountered an abundance of fruit trees bearing delicious grapes, figs, and grapefruits. While we're not certain that picking was allowed, the fruits were too tempting to resist and added a delightful surprise to our journey. The wine tasting session offered at the winery was bypassed after overhearing a rather dull-sounding session nearby. We decided instead to buy our own glasses of wine and enjoyed a self-guided exploration of the two or three buildings open for access. In conclusion, a trip to Quinta do Bomfim is a mixed bag of memorable experiences - a scenic train ride, a challenging hike, irresistible fresh fruits, and an opportunity for self-guided wine tasting and exploration. If you decide to visit, remember to wear durable footwear and be prepared for a longer-than-anticipated hike.

    Excellent winery tour! On a hot day, being inside a beautiful visitor center with effective A/C was key! Great tour, loved the wine tasting placemats and all of the historical information and artifacts - museum quality and well done.

    Pinhao is a very cute town and this was the perfect 1-day experience. Our tour guide was very friendly and gave us an amazing tour. The wine tasting was super fun. We smelled each glass first and the guide gave us info. Then we tasted them all with a gorgeous view of the valley. Great experience overall, absolutely worth it.

    Fantastic scenery. The Douro River and the hills along the river together form one of the most beautiful places I have ever seen. The staffs were kind and could speak good English so we were easily able to understand the history, the challenges and their strategies of the vineyards. We also tasted the wines produced here.

    Worth every minute and every penny. Take the tour, buy the tasting. Don't be Scrooge: treat yourself with the most expensive. You will learn how good a Port should taste. Allocate 1.5h, preferably in the morning: will brighten the rest of the day. Don't mud your palette with a fat breakfast: good Port asks for food celibacy. Once in the cellar, belly breathe deeply: a unique opportunity to "drink" Port through the nose. We recommend tasting before the tour: gives you a perspective. If you are lucky, you guide will Beatrice (Beatriz?). If not, consider asking if she is in today and join her session. Hope this helps.

    We had a high quality lunch there. Everything was great. Strongly recommended if visiting Pinhão. If you only have limited time to spend in the town, don’t give a second thought and just go there.

    Absolutely stunning views from the outside patio! Amazing staff, the visit was really interesting and they have a great selection for tasting. Easy to reach by train from Porto, and the train ride is beautiful as you have views of the Douro valley.

    Only did a tasting. They made some room for us as we did not have a reservation. Very beautiful tasting room and very good ports. Friendly service, had a good time.
