FREE Port Tasting: Quinta do Infantado

  • Bloomsday 414 South 2nd Street Philadelphia, PA, 19147 United States (map)

Join us as owner, João Roseira pours wines from his estate in our bottle shop. This event is FREE and you’ll get a chance to meet and chat with João and also taste a true rarity: estate-bottled Port from the highest rated vineyards.

Quinta do Infantado was founded in 1816 in the Cima Corgo sub-region of the Douro--considered its finest zone for both Port and dry wines--by the Portuguese crown heir D. Pedro IV, hence the name of the estate: “Infante” is Portuguese for "prince". The Roseira family has owned it since the end of the nineteenth century. Today, Infantado is run by third generation João Roseira (winemaker and vineyard manager) and other family members, who oversee family holdings of about forty-six hectares of vines. Quite interestingly, Infantado evolved over the last fifty years into the best kind of outlier and innovator in a wine region ruled for centuries by large-scale production and full-blown commerce.
