About the Winery

Churchill's is a distinguished family-run port and Douro wine producer with roots in Vila Nova da Gaia and the Douro Valley.

Founded in 1981 by Johnny Graham, Churchill's emerged from a blend of deep tradition and a modern vision. The winery has built a world-class reputation for its vintage, ruby, and wood-aged ports, alongside Douro terroir wines that capture the essence of the region and the spirit of Quinta da Gricha. Johnny Graham continues to oversee production, with the next generation now contributing to the legacy. As the last independent British port house, Churchill's remains committed to crafting wines that are deeply personal and aligned with nature. The philosophy centers on celebrating life's moments through the enjoyment of fine wines while maintaining a dedication to sustainability and integrity in every bottle.

About the Wines

Churchill's wines are crafted with a focus on elegance, prioritizing natural acidity and freshness. The winemaking process involves minimal intervention, allowing the true character of the grapes to shine through. Only the finest Grade A grapes are used, ensuring that each bottle reflects the highest quality. Churchill's philosophy emphasizes that less is more, and the beauty of nature should be elevated without interference. This approach results in wines that are pure, expressive, and a true reflection of the Douro region's terroir.

An incredible and unforgettable tasting. Pedro, as a guide, conveyed confidence and that love for the wines and their history. Thank you so much for the unique experience.

Amazing wine and port tasting experience
Had a wonderful time at Churchill’s with my wife for our tasting experience. Our guide was very friendly and extremely knowledgeable. Highly recommended!
Ask to try the white port!

Churchill’s port
Everything was perfect. It was my last activity in Porto and I never regret it. They explained the history and process in detail. All the wines I tasted was great.

Nice entertaining wine tasting
We booked the wine tasting at Churchill's on a rainy afternoon. The tour and also the explanations about the wines were very interesting.
Please note that you taste “normal” wine here. There was only a small glass of port wine to taste at the end. Nevertheless, we would book the tasting again anytime.

An exceptional experience
We had chosen the Churchill cellars to avoid the overly touristy places and we were not disappointed!
We arrived 1 hour too early due to a reservation bug, were wonderfully welcomed, and were treated to a private tour and tasting. The Douro wines and a Port.
Lots of kindness and very interesting explanations, English adapted to our level... A big thank you again for this excellent memory. Good to know: Churchill's Ports can be found at the airport's Duty Free, which allowed us to bring some with us. Christophe

Good visit, but disappointing experience with winedering app that was confusing
Hoped to book direct with Churchills port house (as would have been better and cheaper), but my query taken over by the winedering website which offered fewer options and led to me ordering the wrong visit! Wine tasting instead of Port. Managed to sort with Churchills on the day but overpaid for what we had and left feeling really stupid. Good visit and will be aware not to be misled by these third party companies
Book direct with the wine/port producers
