At the end of the 18th century, the Leite family acquired a large tract of land near the village of Seara. The owner, fascinated by the beauty of the site and its excellent location, promptly invested in access to the property and in planting vines, olive trees and almond trees.
Years later, his son, despite being a career military man, never stopped caring about the property and its development. He became commander of the Lamego barracks and, during his absence from the barracks, soldiers were sent to the Quinta to take orders from the commander.
The locals, amazed at the passing of the soldiers on horseback, asked:
- Where are you going?
To which the soldiers replied:
-"We're going to the Seara farm to take orders from the commander...
And so, from then on, the place was called "Quinta Seara d'Ordens".
