Cockburn's was founded in 1815 by Robert Cockburn.

Iberian Peninsula. During the war, Robert Cockburn discovered the Douro region and its wines and decided to devote himself to the production of great wines from the region. He waited until the end of the war in 1815, when he came to the Douro and founded his own port winery, Cockburn.

These three families produced some excellent ports and ensured that Cockburn's reputation grew, and in 1962 the estate was sold to the Harvey's of Bristol, and 48 years later in 2010 the estate was owned by the Symington Family Estates. Forty-eight years later, in 2010, the winery was owned by Symington Family Estates.
