Welcome to Schistó

The essence of the Douro at the table

In the former main house of Quinta da Vacaria, Schistó is born — a MICHELIN-star restaurant led by the multi-award-winning Chef Vitor Matos, and the only one with this distinction in the entire Douro Valley. Here, the terroir becomes a one-of-a-kind sensory experience, where each dish is a celebration of the land, time and technique.

With just 14 seats and a 10-moment menu inspired by the region’s most authentic flavours, Schistó invites you to immerse yourself in an intimate dinner, where the Douro is served at the table with elegance and emotion.

The Experience – A gastronomic performance

The open kitchen, at the centre of the room, turns every dinner into a live performance, where the chefs present and finish each dish in front of guests. The atmosphere is designed to create closeness and emotion — an invitation to watch, listen and savour with all your senses.

AMONG VINEYARDS & FRIENDS

Schistó | February 26, 8:30 PM

Schistó invites you to a unique gastronomic experience. Chefs Hans Neuner (2★ MICHELIN) and Vítor Matos (5★ MICHELIN) come together for a one-off dinner under the theme “Among vineyards and friends”.

This gathering celebrates friendship, sharing and script-free creativity: each course of the secret menu will be paired with Quinta da Vacaria wines, in a dialogue between cuisine, wine and terroir. Hans Neuner brings inspiration from his international travels, while Vitor Matos reveals the richness of the Douro and its products, in a moment built in real time, just for this day.

€350 per person

*Includes menu and exclusive wine pairing.

The Space

Designed by Joana Astolfi, Schistó’s space is a haven for contemplation. Wood, green marble and velvets blend into a serene setting, where each dinner unfolds in a scene crafted down to the last detail — not just to be seen, but felt.

Schistó. More than a restaurant. A destination.

In the heart of the Douro, Schistó is an ode to the land that inspires us. An experience designed for those who value what is rare: time, essence, memory and flavour.
