Churchill’s

Churchill’s is one of the world’s foremost boutique producers of premium Port and Douro wines. The Churchill’s name is big, but the company is small – with a team of 40 producing just 50,000 handcrafted cases each year.

While the other top players in the category are centuries old, Churchill’s continues to be founder-led, with master port blender Johnny Graham still making the wine nearly 40 years after starting the company at the age of 29.

The driving desire to use simple methods and top-quality grapes to make excellent port and wine that incite joy still lives at the heart of everything we do.

Quinta da Gricha

Churchill’s offices are in Porto, but its heart is at Quinta da Gricha – our 50 hectare estate in the Cima Corgo sub-region of the Douro Valley, where we make our port and our range of innovative Douro terroir wines.

Here we practice minimal intervention winemaking and sustainable agriculture to ensure that we can continue to make simply excellent wines in this region for centuries to come.

Down-river and up-the-mountain from the tourist trails, Gricha Vineyard House embodies the spirit of the Douro: breath-taking vistas, warm community, and wine and winemaking at its centre.

At Gricha, our guests, much like our team of farmers, viticulturists, and enologists, know that great experiences take time and a bit of effort – and so they brave the windy road, look beyond the first hill, and embrace the quiet solitude of vineyard life — whether with a glass of wine, a dip in the pool, or a traditional meal in our idyllic orange grove.

With just four luxury bedrooms tucked into a tastefully remodelled 19th century farmhouse on Churchill’s legendary 50 hectare vineyard, Gricha Vineyard House offers guests access to an intimate and personal experience of life on a working Douro winery.

Feel the pace and simplicity of life amongst the vines. Learn about viticulture and winemaking in personalised tours and tastings amidst the vines and treading tanks. Enjoy Churchill’s award–winning wines while relaxing by the infinity pool or gazing out at the valley from our panoramic terrace.
