Symington Family Estates is one of the world's leading producers of premium port, the leading vineyard owner in the Douro Valley and one of the top Portuguese wine producers.
We are a family of British and Portuguese origin that has lived and worked in Portugal since the 19th century. Our family business - run by the 4th and 5th generations - is founded on a deep commitment to Portugal's people, its lands and its wines. Today there are 10 family members working across the business, committed to producing the finest ports and wines and building on the achievements of the previous generations.
The Douro is the world’s largest area of mountain vineyard and a Unesco World Heritage site. Our vines are planted on steeply terraced hillsides and much vineyard work continues to be done by hand - an increasing rarity in the world’s great wine regions. Our indigenous vines provide low yields of very high-quality grapes, due to their natural adaptation to our climate and our well-draining schistous soils.
