Founded in 1738, this award-winning Douro Valley working winery promises a rich history and offers a wide selection of experiences based around wine, in addition to its wine production and tours and tastings which are on offer.
Not only can guests choose to stay in luxurious converted wine barrels at the onsite Wine House Hotel, they can participate in traditional grape treading during harvest time, picnic in the vineyards, or relax and unwind in the spa, which offers an extensive range of treatments utilising the grape’s antioxidant properties.
Location
The hotel is located a 90-minute drive from Porto and just 1.8 miles from Régua train station. We would be pleased to arrange transfers to and from the station for you.
Guests at Quinta da Pacheca’s Wine House Hotel are promised breathtaking views over the vineyards from all over the estate. There could not be a more immersive hotel stay for wine lovers than your own private wine barrel, opening out into the vines, yet complete with the facilities and comforts you’d expect from a five-star hotel.
Facilities
As one of the most renowned and highly regarded wineries in the Douro Valley, a tour of the estate and winemaking facilities followed by a wine tasting is a must. Guests are also able to participate in a whole host of seasonal winemaking activities, such as harvesting and treading grapes.
The elegant on-site restaurant is open throughout the day and specialises in traditional Portuguese dishes with a modern twist, available either a la carte or as a tasting menu paired with the estate’s wines. Guests can even participate in a traditional cooking class or enjoy local delicacies from the chef in picnic form overlooking the vineyards.
Make the most of the stunning outdoor pool, set in the vineyards, or enjoy the vinotherapy spa. Simply enjoy the indoor spa water circuit with its chaise longues, sauna, Turkish bath, tropical shower with lavender mist and water jet circuit, or perhaps treat yourself with an indulgent treatment – the signature treatments include the vine-inspired Pacheca red grape bath followed by a facial and relaxing massage using grape-seed oil for its antioxidant properties.
Rooms
There is perhaps no choice of accommodation more befitting of a wine lover. The hotel boasts luxuriously converted cosy double rooms shaped like a wine barrel, each with a queen-sized bed and en-suite bathroom, private terrace and its own plunge pool.
For those looking for a little more space, the hotel also boasts a range of rooms and suites in the 18th-century manor building and its newer building space. Spread between the Classic Wing and the Modern Wing, each room is tastefully designed to suit all room styles and preferences and boasts spectacular views over your surroundings. Many rooms have their own balcony, as well as a flatscreen TV, WiFi and minibar.
