They are celebrities – not only in Portugal, but around the world. Wherever the five Douro Boys pop up, there is a crowd of fans and admirers around them. It’s nearly impossible to meet up individually with the winemakers from the picturesque valley, who have turned the appellation “Douro” to a great classic in the world of wine. Therefore, the “private experiences” they offer for their 15th birthday auction, are rare moments and privileges you can not buy in real life.
The Douro Boys have turned into celebrities. Cristiano van Zeller, Francisco Olazabal, Dirk Niepoort, Francisco Ferreira, Tomas Roquette (c) Douro Boys
