Forte de Gaia, Autograph Collection (Former The Lodge Hotel)
Luxury Wine Hotel Experience in Vila Nova de Gaia
Inserted in the heart of the centuries-old Port wine cellars, the Forte de Gaia combines the atmosphere of a luxury wine hotel with the ability to organize unforgettable events. From the dazzling design of the interior spaces to the exclusive and excellent services, everything at Forte de Gaia combines to honor the cultural and identity heritage of Porto and the Douro wine region. Respect for tradition and history is at the heart of the Restaurant Dona Maria, which through its dishes and experiences transports us to the essence of Portuguese gastronomy, recovering and recreating delicacies that populate our memories. In harmony with some of the best national wines, carefully selected to integrate the varied and vast wine cellar of Dona Maria, these delicacies refer us to the book that lends its name to the restaurant, the “Livro de Cozinha da Infanta D. Maria”. Forte de Gaia offers unique conditions for holding social and corporate events. Along with its privileged location, about 15 minutes from the center of Porto and Francisco Sá Carneiro airport, it has four rooms for multifunctional events and two exclusive private rooms, ideal for more personalized and restricted moments.
