Quinta da Aveleda

A family estate half an hour from Porto where the goats have their own stone house and the eucalyptus has been there for three centuries. Guided tours wind through eight hectares of fountains, follies, and over a hundred plant species before dropping into a nineteenth-century cellar for tastings, ideally finished on the verandah with homemade cheese. Peacocks and swans roam free, which makes the whole thing feel less like a winery visit and more like someone's very grand afternoon.
