You will have a visit to the Museum, Cellar, and a Wine tasting.

Housed in the former workers’ dining hall, Cantina de Ventozelo with the help of Chef Miguel Castro e Silva combines traditional recipes with new techniques for a menu inspired by the comfort food that used to nourish farm workers during the olden days and a more refined dinner menu that can be paired with Ventozelo’s own Douro and port wines.

The Quinta de La Rosa estate was offered as a baptism gift to Claire Feuheerd, Sophia's grandmother, in 1906.

Dinner will be served at Cozinha da Clara, Quinta de la Rosa's Restaurant. With fabulous views over the river, Quinta de la Rosa's Restaurant was opened in the summer of 2017.  The philosophy of Cozinha da Clara is to serve local Portuguese cuisine at its best – simplicity is the key, including a touch of the family’s heritage, by adding some of Claire’s favorite recipes.  The executive chef, Pedro Cardoso, has worked in the Douro for over 10 years.  Using locally sourced products and vegetables from the garden, Chef Pedro has developed many of his recipes from the Tras-os-Montes.
