Atelier Sérgio Rebelo has designed the Quinta de Adorigo Winery, in Portugal's most prestigious wine-growing area, in Alto Douro, Portugal.

Located in Portugal's Alto Douro Wine Region, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Quinta de Adorigo Winery subtly blends into the landscape, combining tradition with innovation and sustainability.

Designed to minimise environmental impact, its curvilinear architecture echoes the zigzag vineyards without compromising functionality.

The configuration of the building is a set of interlocking naves that follow the existing topographic slopes, replicated on its internal mechanics, where the winemaking process takes place by gravity.

The gravitational system is a traditional solution on the banks of the River Douro and this wine cellar showcases it with all its up-to-date operational capabilities.

This project has been longlisted in the hospitality project category of Dezeen Awards 2025.
