15/01/2026Quinta do Bomfim, from Symington Family Estates, has been distinguished for the first time in the TOP 50 Best Wineries, promoted by Forbes magazine, and has been included in the TOP 100 World's Best Vineyards, reinforcing the international recognition of the Douro's winemaking heritage and the continuous management of the Symington family.

Quinta do Bomfim, a property of Symington Family Estates located in the heart of the Douro, has recently been distinguished in two international benchmark rankings in the wine and wine tourism sector. The property makes its debut in the TOP 50 Best Wineries, promoted by Forbes magazine, reaching the 31st position, and also ranks in the TOP 100 World’s Best Vineyards, where it occupies the 66th place.

This double recognition highlights not only the quality of the wines produced at Quinta do Bomfim but also the experience offered to visitors, positioning it as one of the most complete and distinctive wine tourism proposals in the Douro region. At Quinta do Bomfim, visitors can tour the vineyards and the winery, explore a small museum with objects and memories of the Symington family, as well as enjoy the gastronomic offerings of the estate’s restaurant, on a journey that intersects wine, history, and territory.

The World’s Best Vineyards competition is now one of the main international references for evaluating wine tourism experiences, taking into account criteria such as the quality of the visit, the beauty of the landscape, the history of the properties, and the connection to local culture. The TOP 50 Best Wineries distinguishes wineries that excel simultaneously in wine production and hospitality, valuing aspects such as innovation, sustainability, and the ability to create memorable experiences for visitors.

Among the award-winning experiences associated with the Symington family, the Vesúvio & Bomfim Experience stands out, recognized within the Best of Wine Tourism in the category of innovative experiences. This proposal invites visitors to discover two of the family’s most emblematic estates – Quinta do Vesúvio and Quinta do Bomfim – with a highlight being a train journey along the Douro Line, which combines landscape, tradition, and storytelling around the wine and the region’s cultural heritage.

These distinctions add to other national and international recognitions awarded to the Symington family’s properties, reinforcing the role of Quinta do Bomfim as an ambassador for Douro wine tourism and the group’s commitment to valuing the viticultural heritage, innovation, and long-term management that characterizes the family’s history in the Douro.
