Van Zellers & Co

Van Zellers & Co is a historic Douro house revived in 2006 by Cristiano van Zeller, a 14th-generation member of one of the region’s most respected wine families. With roots in the Douro dating back to the 17th century, the project continues a long tradition while embracing a modern, quality-focused approach.

Working with old vineyards and traditional field blends, Van Zellers & Co focuses on expressing the depth and complexity of the Douro through both still wines and Ports. The philosophy combines respect for heritage with careful, low-intervention winemaking to preserve authenticity and balance.

Production remains relatively small and terroir-driven, with wines that are structured, elegant, and built for ageing. Van Zellers & Co represents a refined and contemporary expression of classic Douro winemaking, rooted in history yet firmly focused on the future.
