Octant Douro is set to host the inaugural Octant Festival, this year a celebration of the Douro region through fine dining, music, and cultural heritage, taking place from October 24 to 26, 2025. The festival’s debut edition will feature a performance by the acclaimed artist José González and a remarkable gastronomic lineup, bringing together seven chefs—including six Michelin-starred talents—alongside Octant Douro’s resident chef, Dárcio Henriques of RAIVA Restaurant.

Under the theme “The Whole Douro Comes to Octant,” the festival delivers an immersive experience of informal luxury, designed as an annual celebration of culture and place. Its carefully curated program blends global icons with the spirit of the Douro, showcasing chefs, artisans, and producers whose work is deeply rooted in the region’s terraced vineyards and rich cultural heritage.
