Quinta de Ventozelo was a land cultivated by Cistercian monks, great promoters of local agriculture and founders of Port wine, who populated the region in the Middle Ages. The first historical reference of Ventozelo dates from 1288, but around 1500, due to the Cistercian monastery of S. Pedro das Águias, which came into the possession of the noblemen of the House of the Well, Lamego, who founded it as a Quinta.
This is one of the largest and oldest Quintas do Douro. It has been passing through different hands over the centuries, hands that shaped it and transformed it to what it is today.
