Symington Family Estates is a leading Port and Portuguese wine producer headquartered in Porto, Portugal. The majority of our vineyards are located in the Douro Valley, in the north of Portugal, consisting of 26 estates covering 2,462 hectares and 1,114 hectares of vineyard. 

We are an independent family business (the first Symington began working as a Port producer in Porto in 1882). Today, ten members of the 4th and 5th generation work across our four Port houses: Graham’s, Cockburn’s, Dow’s and Warre’s, and portfolio of Douro wine brands – Quinta do Vesuvio, Quinta do Ataíde, Altano and Prats & Symington (producers of Chryseia and Post Scriptum). 

In 2019 we launched our first wines from Quinta da Fonte Souto, a stunning estate in the Portalegre sub-region of the Alto Alentejo. 

All our vineyards are sustainably managed under a minimum intervention certification and 130 ha are organically farmed, the largest area of organic vineyard in northern Portugal. We have invested significantly in viticulture R&D to adapt to climate change and are working on an ambitious sustainability plan, with a series of goals under the banner of Mission 2025. 

In 2019 we became a certified B Corporation – the first wine company in Portugal to take this step – joining a global community of businesses audited for the highest standards of social and environmental responsibility, committed to using business as a force for good.

In 2020 we joined International Wineries for Climate Action, an association of wine companies leading the decarbonisation of the wine sector, in line with the urgent CO2 reduction guidelines established by global scientists and the UN.

**OUR MISSION**

To produce exceptional wines that celebrate and preserve the uniqueness of Portugal and contribute to a positive future for the regions where we work.
