Libatio is a wine bar housed in a former 19th-century winery at Quinta de Villa Franca. Since opening in 2023, it has transformed from a space frozen in time into a setting for meetings, reunions, and meaningful conversations, always accompanied by a glass of wine.
Guests can taste, discover, and discuss wines in a relaxed atmosphere around a long counter that is accessible from both sides, designed to encourage sharing and connection among everyone who gathers there.
At Libatio, wine is celebrated as part of Portugal’s cultural heritage. Maria is passionate about discovering and sharing new wines, especially from producers she knows personally—people whose vineyards she’s walked, wineries she’s visited, and philosophies she respects. In this sense, the curatorship of Libatio wine selection favors wines from winemakers who are deeply connected to their craft and the land, seeing wine as an expression of agricultural roots.
Inside the bar, a long, inviting counter stretches almost the entire length of the wine cellar and its accessible from both sides to encourage conversation and connection among guests.
Come and taste Douro wines, Port wine, and wines from other regions of Portugal in a relaxed atmosphere inside a traditional Douro wine cellar.
Book a seat at the bar or a small table and enjoy some delicious bites along a few wines by the glass!
