A family renowned for producing exceptional wines, which has 6 generations and has been operating in this market since 1842.
Its work stands out for its strong production of fresh, elegant and high-quality DOC wines. Over the years, Niepoort has expanded its innovative character, always respecting tradition.

In the center, a long table, decorated in a simple and elegant way, invites us to sit and enjoy the fantastic panoramic views of the Douro.
While we admire the beautiful landscapes, the first dishes begin to be served, from a menu carefully prepared with local and seasonal products. Starting with the delicious traditional soup of the region, with vegetables extracted from the fields. Followed by the main course, inspired by the authentic aromas of the land, such as a meat stew or fresh fish. To end this gastronomic moment in the best way, choose between an irresistible dessert or a rich selection of traditional cheeses. And enjoy!
Each dish will be perfectly paired with the best labels from Quinta de Nápoles. With a rich selection of white, red or even more complex wines such as the famous Port Wine. This lunch will be a true explosion of flavors! An enogastronomic experience that you will never forget!
