Our Farm

Our Farm2026-07-13T11:53:09+01:00

Our story begins at Quinta Dos Santos, Portugal.

Founded by two friends, Santos + Co is inspired by Quinta Dos Santos – The Dos Santos Family’s beloved Algarvian Vineyard / Brewery / Restaurant, carrying forward a legacy of passion and tradition.

Santos + Co offers an unforgettable dining experience, where the heart of Portugal meets the soul of Britain, creating a unique fusion that excites the palate. It’s a place where history and innovation come together on every plate.

Quinta Dos Santos

The Dos Santos family acquired the property in 2015 and began transforming the overgrown land into a vineyard with modern yet timeless buildings.

Today, it features a winery, craft brewery, taproom/restaurant, and the restored “Casa Terra” cottage. During land prep, a forgotten aqueduct and old stone walls were uncovered and carefully restored, now forming part of the farm’s distinctive landscape of limestone walls and cobbled drainage channels.
