CROFT PORT is one of the most distinguished of all Port houses.

In Detail


Founded in 1588, it is the oldest firm still active today as a Port wine producer. The company is renowned above all for its Vintage Ports as well as for its range of wood aged reserves and tawnies, time-honoured styles refined by skill and experience passed down the generations.

But in spite of its rich heritage and history spanning over four centuries, Croft has never been constrained by tradition. Today, as in the past, it maintains a pioneering spirit, continuing to create innovative new styles such as Croft Pink, the first ever rosé Port.

Behind every great wine producer is a great vineyard. The cornerstone of Croft’s distinctive house style is the famous Quinta da Roêda, described as the jewel of Port wine estates. The wines of this magnificent property, which contains some of the oldest vineyards in the Douro Valley, are the heart of Croft’s Vintage Port blend.

Accepted to be one of the finest of the Douro Valley estates, Quinta da Roêda forms a vast sweep of terraced vineyard located near the village of Pinhão. The estate was acquired by Croft in 1889 and was extensively renovated by the firm, with replanting continuing throughout the first half of the 20th century.

Since CROFT PORT’S return to family ownership, with its incorporation into the Fladgate Partnership, the property has again been the source of major investment. This includes the building of traditional lagares (granite treading tanks) allowing the reintroduction of foot treading, still unsurpassed as a method of extraction for vintage port.

With breathtaking views over the Douro Valley and the river, the gentle slopes of the vineyards of Quinta da Roêda allow easy access for people of all ages to wander amongst the vines and learn about how one of the world’s most iconic wines is made: Port Wine!

"We left it quite late to book a harvest experience and everything was booked up, however, you assured me you'd stay on the case and try to find something. I had given up hope, but then got a message from you while we were on holiday alerting me to availability the very next day, which was close to where we were staying. My partner and I had and an excellent time. Very impressed with the service and regular communication. I'd happily recommend this company to others."
