Quinta do Crasto is a historic winery located in Portugal’s Douro Valley, near the village of Gouvinhas in the municipality of Sabrosa. The estate has a long viticultural tradition dating back to at least 1615, and the name “Crasto” derives from the Latin word castrum, referring to a former Roman fort believed to have existed on the site.

Its vineyards are planted on steep terraces overlooking the Douro River, on the region’s characteristic schist soils that contribute to the concentration and mineral character of the wines. Today the estate is managed by the Roquette family, who have modernized the winery while preserving the traditional identity of the vineyards and local grape varieties.

The vineyards are largely planted with indigenous Douro varieties such as Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, Tinta Roriz and Tinta Barroca. Quinta do Crasto produces a range of wines including Douro red and white wines as well as Port wines, all reflecting the structure and character of the region.

Wines from old vineyards, where several traditional grape varieties grow together, are particularly valued for their depth and aging potential. In addition to wine, the estate also produces extra virgin olive oil from its own olive groves.

Quinta do Crasto is widely recognized as one of the notable premium producers in the Douro Valley. The estate also offers wine tourism experiences, allowing visitors to explore the vineyards and cellar while overlooking the Douro landscape.
