With a history dating back five generations, Symington Family Estates are the leading makers of premium ports, accounting for over a third of all quality port sold throughout the world. They are also responsible for some of the Douro Valley's finest wines.
The Symington family has been making wine in Portugal’s Douro Valley for over 130 years. A family of Scottish, English, and Portuguese heritage, the Symingtons own renowned Port houses including Graham’s, Dow’s, Warre’s, and Cockburn’s. Their vineyards span prime Douro sites, and sustainability is central to their ethos, including supporting rewilding projects in the Greater Côa Valley which has helped the Iberian lynx, wolves and many other species to thrive.
While fortified wines remain their cornerstone, the family has also helped elevate Douro wines, producing elegant reds and whites that showcase the region’s potential. Their legacy is rooted in authenticity, stewardship of the land, and dedication to quality. Symington wines, whether Port or Douro DOC, reflect the valley’s dramatic landscapes and centuries-old traditions brought to life by a modern family vision.
