A landscape that portraits the story of centuries of human effort designing the geometry of vineyards and terraces, spread on the high slopes. The demarcated Douro wine region has 250.000 hectares.

Only 10% of these are classified as World Heritage by UNESCO, and both Quinta de Ceis and Quinta de Vale do Fojo are part of this exclusive group.

QUINTA DE CEIS is located in the old parish of Gouvães do Douro and in the parish of Covas do Douro, lands whose origin is lost in time and where the culture of the vine has millennial roots.

Gouvães Douro, renowned by long-standing exceptional quality of its wines, was a town and seat of the municipality since the reign of D. Sancho I in 1202 and until 1836.

In the 18th century, during the Pombaline and Mariana wine region demarcations, this area – currently the municipality of Sabrosa – was privileged with 17 granite landmarks.
