A small port winery located right next to the legendary Dom Luis I Bridge. The winery is very small but will allow beginners to get a taste of the fabulous world of Port Wine. Our guide "Luca"'s explanations were good and precise, all with a touch of humor. We took the tasting for €25, which included three glasses: one white and two reds, which were good but nothing special.

Very characteristic cellar, located right at the end of the lower Luiz I bridge, nestled in the rock overlooking the river. There are different types of visits, the guided tour does not change, only the tasting differs (2 glasses of Porto, 3 glasses, wine + chocolate and superior wine), with the Porto card you will have a discount. The guide in Italian is not provided.

Discover the history of the Burmester "brand" of port. A fairly quick tour, it's true, with a tasting at the end. "Tourist" tours (logical), where groups cross paths and follow one another. It still lacks a bit of authenticity...

A highly recommended experience. Port wines are very different from Spanish wines, as I would classify them more as liqueurs or muscatels; but that is subjective. The tasting is perfectly adapted to the time you spend, the cellars are super beautiful and take you back to the origins of the city and in my opinion, a good guide, as was the case in our case, puts the finishing touch to all this. Thank you for the experience and once again a pleasure.

Very friendly little tour, optionally in German, followed by a wine tasting. Absolutely appropriate for the relatively low price, and also pleasant clientele. Large tasting room, which simultaneously presents and sells countless varieties of wine. One of the things that testifies to the German roots of this company is a letter from Konrad Adenauer, which is proudly presented during the tour.

A very enjoyable Port wine tasting tour and the history of Portugal wine. The tour was around 30 minutes and at the end we were taken to a warehouse setup with tables where the tasting takes place. Depending on the ticket purchased you are given either 2 or 3 glasses of Port to taste. I would definitely recommend booking a Port tour. There are lots to choose from and it might be worth booking a package which includes a 24 or 48 hour Porto bus tour.
