the quinta

Located in the heart of the Douro River Valley, Quinta Silvestre is comprised of 22 hectares of rich terrain painted with dozens of stone wall terraces, fruit and nut trees, lush forests and streams.

Once a fully-cultivated conventional farm, once a working vineyard, once abandoned for multiple decades, the quinta is undergoing another transformation into a regenerative, permaculture farm.

  • history

    Located in an area that has been inhabited since the roman times, the quinta is full of history. From stone walls hundreds of years old to remnants of previous cultural and agricultural practices, spending time on the quinta is an experience of continual discovery.

  • ruins

    There are a dozen stone structures on the quinta in various stages of disrepair that all have their own story to tell. With time and care, we are slowly bringing them back to life, one by one.
