History - the newest port company in Oporto, founded in 1981 by Johnny Graham (of another famous port name, Grahams). Johnny' wife is Caroline Churchill and to avoid conflict with the old family firm of Grahams, which had been sold, they called their port company Churchill Graham Lda.

Development - in the beginning, Churchill's rented a lodge in Vila Nova de Gaia from Taylor's but very soon bigger premises were required so they bought three ruined lodges in Rua da Fonte Nova overlooking the river Douro and they have now been fully renovated.

Today - with the purchase of Quinta da Gricha and Quinta do Rio, both renowned Grade A vineyards in the premium Cima Corgo region of the Douro, Churchill's is now in control from grape to bottle.
