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 extends across the historic lands of Gouvães do Douro and Covas do Douro, places whose connection to viticulture dates back centuries. Renowned for the exceptional quality of its wines, Gouvães do Douro was granted town status and served as the seat of its own municipality from the charter issued by King Sancho I in 1202 until 1836.

During the Pombaline and Marian demarcations of the 18th century, the area that now forms the municipality of Sabrosa was marked by seventeen feitoria boundary stones, reflecting the historical importance of these terroirs in the production of the Douro’s finest wines.
