A century year old story
"I remember being six years old, happily running through the old cellar trying to keep up with my father! I am 43 today, and it still feels incredibly the same :)" - Luís
our history
the kiss winery
With more than a century of history and tradition and 40 acres of vineyard and olive trees, Quinta do Beijo (directly translated to "The Kiss Winery") was born from the ancient “Calvário warehouses”, owned by the family for more than 100 years.
In 2015 our winery was fully renewed, rebranded and refreshed but all our traditional and historical values have been preserved. It was with new family energy that we have rebranded our quality wines and olive oil and opened our winery to the public.
we're a family business
Quinta do Beijo is a big family where all of us contribute to maintain the status of a family owned business in the extraordinary UNESCO World Heritage Douro region.
Located in Celeirós do Douro, a typical wine producing village, and located 25 km from Vila Real in Sabrosa municipality, Quinta do Beijo contributes to the extraordinary landscapes of the Douro Region, a region known by its breath taking vineyards and terraces.
our team, our family
Before a company, we are a family, a family with a dream built with hard work, effort, dedication, and lots of love.
João Monteiro
the heart
João "John" is the responsible for Quinta do Beijo.
He manages all our operations, including the touristic activities that we offer.
He is fully dedicated to the business and he masters the art of welcoming people to our home. He is a great guide, with fantastic personal and communication skills and he loves to play and to laugh with all our visitors, while teaching and showing our history and tradition.

Miguel Monteiro
the soul
Mr. Monteiro, as he is known in the region is the family Patriarch.
He carefully manages all the wine production of Quinta do Beijo, as well as the management of all the acres of vineyard, including the winery operational control.
He inherited the winery from our grandfather, Luíz de Castro Monteiro, and after producing fantastic Port wines during several decades, he challenged his wife and sons to create a new brand in the Portuguese market, our Quinta do Beijo.
As a result of his work, conviction, dedication and love, Quinta do Beijo was born and has become in what it is today.
