Drink Yourself To Sleep Indeed!
It’s a wine-filled “What The Friday”, thanks to a wine barrel you can sleep in!
This is just another reason why I love the internet, because it shares places like this – an incredible Portugese Winery that lets you sleep inside a wine barrel!
Yes, this incredible winery in Portugal not only has a hotel and restaurant, they have real, supersized wine barrels to sleep in as well!
Quinta da Pacheca is a beautiful 280-year-old wine estate which has created 30 “Wine barrel” suites which include a circular double bed, private wardrobe and bathroom with walk-in shower.
Each wine barrel room has skylight windows and a private terrace , along with air conditioning and Wi-Fi as well!

Quinta da Pacheca is based in Douro, Portugal – ‘one of the most famous wine regions in the world’ and you can stay here for roughly $200-$250 per night, breakfast included.
The winery promises “an idyllic and romantic setting” with the wine barrels “providing a unique experience of contact with nature and the monumental reality of the Douro Wine Region”.
They add: “Unique moments of rest await for you in an environment of rurality.”
Sounds good to me – cheers!
I saw this incredible “Wine Barrel Hotel” posted online, and located the entire article here – more info and pictures, so click on it:
As unique as this gorgeous Portugese winery is, remember that I showed you how we do things in the US:
Sleep Inside A Potato!
That’s right, Idaho not only grows them, they make them for sleeping in as well…check out this unique “Spud Hotel” by clicking here:

Not that is one place I. Ould get a full night sleep!! Thanks for the post.
Thanks for sharing – I think it looks incredible and imagine waking up to that view!
How crazy is that??? But oh how fun too! Thanks for sharing all the quirk!
Yes, it looks like a blast – some of my “What The Friday” stories are NOT that! Thanks for commenting!
Looks amazing! I’d stay in one for sure!
And I know that Portugal is very affordable so it’s not a budget buster at all! Thanks for commenting!
I might put it on my bucket list. I’ve spent lots of time in Spain, but never been to Portugal.
I haven’t either but everything I read says it’s THE place to go! Thanks for commenting!
Haven’t but I would sure love to. It’s the perfect place to relax and unwind!
And that view is amaaazing!
I would love to stay in a wine barrel – it looks lovely. You find the neatest things. Great marketing for a winery also!
Love this. Nicer than the spud I think!
Indeed! I love the idea of sitting out on the deck, enjoying a glass of wine, and watching the grapes grow! Thanks for commenting!
This looks amaaaazing! What a good way to re-use the barrels. I wonder if they still have a vino smell!?
I think they are built special for this, but I would imagine they’d want to “enhance” the aroma so you feel like you are really inside one!
What a fun idea, John. I am going to show this to Terence with a hint, hint.
It’s a really cool thing, and I’ve heard so much about how affordable Portugal is – it’s on our must see list!
I have never slept inside a wine barrel, but I am certainly ready to try!
I have probably drunk enough wine to fill that in my lifetime though. 🙂
Best wishes, Pete.
Me as well Pete! I have never been to Portugal but I hear it’s incredibly reasonable in terms of cost, and this room isn’t that expensive at all – less than sleeping inside the potato in the US!
