The famous map of the Douro River, drawn up by James Forrester and published in 1848, marks Quinta de Val da Figueira, which was founded in the mid-18th century. Following the destruction of the Douro vineyards by the phylloxera scourge, some of the first experiments with American vines were carried out on the property by the then owner during the winters of 1878 and 1879.<\/p>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-49dd98f3 wd-section-stretch section-visit-us e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"49dd98f3\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-19f961fe e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"19f961fe\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-375420bf elementor-widget elementor-widget-wd_image_or_svg\" data-id=\"375420bf\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"wd_image_or_svg.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t<div class=\"wd-image text-left\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/quintavaldafigueira.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/enoturismo4.webp\" class=\"attachment-1200x700 size-1200x700\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/quintavaldafigueira.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/enoturismo4.webp 1200w, https:\/\/quintavaldafigueira.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/enoturismo4-300x169.webp 300w, https:\/\/quintavaldafigueira.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/enoturismo4-1024x576.webp 1024w, https:\/\/quintavaldafigueira.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/enoturismo4-768x432.webp 768w, https:\/\/quintavaldafigueira.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/enoturismo4-600x338.webp 600w, https:\/\/quintavaldafigueira.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/enoturismo4-150x84.webp 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-697f91c0 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"697f91c0\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5672826c home-item-content wd-width-100 elementor-widget elementor-widget-wd_title\" data-id=\"5672826c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"wd_title.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"title-wrapper set-mb-s reset-last-child wd-title-color-default wd-title-style-default wd-title-size-default text-left\">\n\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<div class=\"liner-continer\">\n\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"woodmart-title-container title wd-fontsize-l\">Visits and tastings<\/h2> \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"title-after_title set-cont-mb-s reset-last-child wd-fontsize-xs\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<p>Come and live a fascinating experience on a historic Douro estate, where tradition and authenticity merge with stunning scenery.
