Manuel Correia was born into a humble family, strongly connected to the land, which drew its livelihood for three generations from a "patchwork quilt" in the Douro region.

He left young. He ventured across the country in search of fortune, which he only fully found upon returning to the place where, years before, the immeasurable love for the region was born, allowing him to pursue his childhood dream. Each step today is the sum of work, dedication, and great resilience, combined with the love for his family that drives him to continue.

After all, each bottle carries centuries of history, struggle, glory, and great wisdom.

Douro Family is a tribute to its roots, to its family, to the men and women who helped build the brand, parts of a whole transformed into a unique and distinctive product.  From wine he learned the lesson of the time it takes for a dream to germinate, grow and strengthen.
