Quinta Costa
A private family estate for intimate weddings in northern Portugal.
Up to 80 guests · Six suites sleeping 12 · Your choice of suppliers · Planned with Matriz Weddings
Our Family’s Home
Quinta Costa is our family’s home. My parents built the house among the vines hoping to share it one day, and they still spend part of every year here, tending the vineyard, the chestnut trees and the vegetable garden.
In 2021 my sister married here, under string lights in the courtyard with the vines all around. Ever since, everyone who sees the photos asks the same thing: where is this place?
Now we’re opening it to a handful of couples each year. There are no packages or set menus, just a private estate where you can gather the people you love for a whole weekend and make the day your own.

The Estate
Good to Know
-
Quinta Costa suits intimate weddings of up to 80 guests. Ceremonies take place on the lawn beside the vines, with cocktails on the pool terrace and dinner and dancing in the courtyard.
-
Yes. The house has six suites, each with its own bathroom, and sleeps twelve: ideal for the couple, their families and the people closest to them. You can hire the venue for the wedding day, or the venue and the whole house for the weekend.
-
Guests stay in hotels in Valpaços, about 20 minutes away, or Chaves, about 40 minutes away. Shuttles can be arranged so nobody needs to drive, and a welcome dinner in town the night before is easy to plan.
-
Yes. The venue is hired on its own, with no set packages, so you choose your caterer, florist, music and decor and make the day your own. Our planner can introduce you to trusted local suppliers.
-
Every wedding at Quinta Costa is planned with Sílvia of Matriz Weddings, who planned the first wedding here in 2021. She or her team is on site throughout, so you can enjoy the weekend with your guests.
-
We’re now taking enquiries for 2028, with a few weekday dates available in 2027. Summer is the most popular season, so it’s best to get in touch early.
-
Northern Portugal summers are usually dry, but we always plan for weather. A marquee or tent can be arranged through our planner’s local suppliers, so the ceremony and dinner can go ahead whatever the forecast.
-
The estate is surrounded by vineyards with no close neighbours, so you can celebrate late into the night. Exact music times depend on local permits, and we confirm them with every couple when we book your date.
-
Every wedding here is different, so we quote each one individually. Venue hire depends on your date, guest numbers and whether you take the whole house for the weekend. Send us an enquiry and we’ll come back with a quote.
