Galafura, Vila Real, Address available on request

Located in the International Douro wine region, integrated in the Denomination of Controlled Origin (Doc), this 16-hectare vineyard property with stunning views over the Douro River, is located on the right bank of the Douro River between Régua and Pinhão, in schist hills, in the center of the region of the geographical designation of origin of Port wine. 

The combination of vineyards, olive trees, and tourist activities makes this development more versatile and sustainable and is also highlighted for its potential and promising economic activities, highlighting:

1. Vineyard and Wine Production: 
- Certified organic production with varieties of grape types. 
- Historical importance in the production of the best wines of the Alto Douro. 
- The Port wine quota adds legal value to the property - 8.5 hectares of vineyards. - Organically produced 
- Wine production averages 30 barrels, about 16,500 liters, ranging from 10 to 45 barrels. 
 - Higher productivity before the vineyard goes organic, but higher grape prices after it goes organic. 
- Until the 2015s, wine was produced on the farm but more recently, since the conversion to organic, the grapes are sold to Quinta dos Murças (neighbors) who produce organic wine. 
- About 750 liters of wine (red, rosé, and port) are still produced at home for tourists and families of the owners. 
- Port wine quota of about 25 barrels. 
- Legal right to produce and sell Port wine or Port wine grapes for approximately 700 euros/barrel. 
- You can sell the grapes for Port wine or sell the grapes for the current wine and sell the right to produce Port wine separately, which has been the practice for the last 3 years. 
In several documents, including the economic description of the territory usually called Alto Douro, published in the 1780s, it was noted that the Douro area between the Covelinhas stream and the mouth of the Corgo river (in Régua) produced the best wines in the entire Alto Douro. 

There are two main approaches to developing vineyards on the slopes of the Douro hillside: 
Terraces and Vineyard to the Top. 

In Terraces, vines are laid horizontally on terraces (one or two rows for a terrace) that require considerable earth movements and rock walls to support them. 

In Vinhas ao Alto, the vines follow a vertical line from top to bottom, with less intense earth movements to remove or break rocks and stones. 
Alto vineyards have higher yields because they allow more vines per ha. There is also a mine consisting of two tunnels, connected through a shaft inside the hill. The caves are an idyllic place to store wine bottles and barrels, (cellar) due to the constancy and low temperatures.

2. Olive Trees and Olive Oil: 
- Certified organic production. 
- Average production of 300 liters of olive oil. 

3. Tourist Accommodation:
