Quinta do Pégo is an old dream, which has now come true. It all began more than 15 years ago, when Karsten Søndergaard and his wife, Anna Marie, decided to find a small farm in the Douro valley. After many business trips in connection with purchase of port, they had got close relations to the area. After five years of search they bought Quinta do Pégo and its 33 ha. land of which 30 ha. were vineyards and then they had to adjust the plan a bit. Now it was not a small idyllic farm in the country, but a project. The building was worth nothing and should be removed and replaced by a totally new building. Only the old lagars, where the wine is tread, could be preserved. Instead of only running an agricultural estate, they got the idea to build a rural hotel.

But that is not something you just do in Portugal - and especially not in the Douro valley, which is classified as very preservation-worthy by Unesco (under EU). After 10 years of struggling the Hotel Rural Quinta do Pégo is now officially approved. There are only 10 double rooms, but if you can get an available room, an extraordinairy experience is waiting for you. Even for the ones who are not interested in wines, it is impressive. For wine drinkers it is a paradise.

Quinta do Pégo produces port and red table wine themselves. The treading of grapes for the port will take place in the lagars in the cellar. The rest of the handling of the wines will take place at Rozès, which is well-known on the Scandinavian market for its ports and which is one of AMKA’s many years’ business partners.
