I am a trip port and wine tasting through Portugal. Quinta da Gaivosa is by far the best I've tasted, both in wine and port. Their attention to detail, quality, and innovation show up in the bottle. Absolutely fantastic. This is a "can't miss" destination while tasting in Duoro.

Really interesting to learn about the history of wine and Porto in the region. The issues they face and how production is done now. Such a small team for such a big operation. The tour really showed you everything they do and we were greated by the winemaker. A fascinating man.
