Where Wine Meets Art
Guided by the visionary artist Óscar Rodrigues, Atelier d’Or is more than a studio, it's a haven of creativity, emotion, and transformation where guests are invited to explore the poetic intersection between nature, wine, and artistic expression.
Óscar Rodrigues
Internationally celebrated for his wood carving and chainsaw sculpture, Óscar Rodrigues transforms nature’s raw elements into expressive, soul-stirring art.
- Degree in Fine Arts – Sculpture from the University of Porto
- Pioneer of Winerella: painting with wine
- Sponsored by STIHL since 2012 for his mastery in chainsaw sculpture
- Creator of “The Nectar of Pacheca” – an iconic wooden wine bottle symbolizing the estate
His work blends local materials, environmental awareness, and artistic innovation, offering guests hands-on access to the artistic spirit of the region.
Winearellas
At Quinta da Pacheca, wine is more than a drink, it’s a pigment of emotion!
Winearellas are a signature artistic experience where guests paint using different types of wine, revealing delicate tones and textures that evolve over time, just like the Douro landscape.
Cork Workshop
Cork it’s a symbol of Portugal’s natural heritage and artistic resilience.
At Atelier d’Or, the cork workshop is more than instruction, it’s an immersion where participants are guided through the history and harvest of cork, then into the tactile process of crafting under the mentorship of Óscar Rodrigues.
