Maxine and her family have shared many memories at the Quinta over the years, and have been so happy to share it with Andrew in recent years. Maxine’s parents, Hans and Jen, first met Quinta de Sant’Ana owners James and Ann Frost in the early 90s when Hans was living in Lisbon and Jen in Madrid. The Frosts had recently taken over the then-abandoned property from Ann’s family and were working to restore the buildings and vineyards. On visits, Maxine’s parents would lend a hand where they could, such as whitewashing the main dining barn—where we will soon all be eating dinner—and other things.

It’s hard to describe the beauty that is the Quinta. It feels nearer to something conjured up in a dream—with its yellow stuccoed walls and rolling hills of grape vines dotted with sheep—than a real place. We are so excited to share it with you all.

All the wedding flowers are grown on the property and artfully arranged by Ann. The vineyard, which is maintained by James, produces some incredible wines that will be available during the wedding for you all to taste.
