Churchill's Lodge

Highlights:

• COME FOR A TASTE, STAY FOR A TOUR, AND LOSE YOURSELF IN THE ENERGY OF THE PORT TRADE IN ACTION!
• Nestled in the ancient customs zone of Vila Nova da Gaia, tucked away from the bustle of the Gaia promenade, you’ll find Churchill’s — a working port lodge and visitor’s centre showcasing our world class port and table wines.
• We make wine with a bias for elegance, prioritizing purity of fruit, natural acidity and freshness through minimal intervention winemaking and exclusively Grade A grapes.
• We make port and wine for our grandkids not ourselves, and we are committed to preserving our planet so that they can one day do the same.
• We practice minimal intervention winemaking, and we are committed to reflecting this in every part of our business.

Winery Description:

Churchill’s is a family-run port and Douro wine producer rooted in both tradition and innovation, based in Vila Nova da Gaia and the Douro Valley. Founded in 1981 by Johnny Graham at just 29, Churchill’s introduced a personal, drier style and fresh energy to the classic world of port. Today, they craft a world-class portfolio of vintage, ruby, and wood-aged ports alongside expressive Douro terroir wines from their cherished vineyard, Quinta da Gricha. As the last independent British port house, Churchill’s remains passionately family-led, embracing wines that are authentic and unpretentious, working in harmony with nature to create moments that bring joy. Live well, drink well, do good—welcome to Churchill’s.
