Originally from France, David Ferreira moved to Portugal at the age of 15 where he finished high school and completed his university studies. With a degree in Agricultural Engineering from Escola Superior Agrária de Santarém and a master's degree in Viticulture and Oenology from the University of Porto, he began his career in 2006 as a viticulture technician at Casa Cadaval in the Tejo region. After only six years, he had moved up to become Principal Winemaker and Production Manager.

After 11 years at Casa Cadaval, David Ferreira spent a year working with Quinta Vale De Fornos, also in the Tejo region, and then moved to Quinta Vale D. Maria where he had a chance to explore the terroir and the wines of the Douro Valley. He returned to the Tejo region at the end of 2019 to embrace a new project at Campanhia das Lezírias, where he is responsible for wine and olive oil products.
