Write a reviewWe took a tour with a tasting of three port wines. We were informed that port wine has little to do with Porto, as the port wine cellars are located in Gaia, not Porto. And the wine used for port wine comes from the Douro Valley. Nevertheless, it was a very nice little museum with a good tour past the huge port wine barrels to the tasting room. Unfortunately, we couldn't extend our tasting and try another rosé.

An extraordinary experience. We took the guided tour in French. Our guide was truly amazing! You could tell he loved his job, and he taught us a lot about port. A tasting followed, a very enjoyable, friendly experience. It was the best place we visited in Porto.

A great tour through the wine cellars followed by a tasting. Thanks to Carla for the informative tour. Overall, it was a very informative tour and very interesting to watch. I highly recommend this tour if you're visiting Porto. It was a bit distracting to hear other groups talking alongside your group, as it was easy to get distracted or the noise quickly became loud, making it difficult to understand the guide.

A very beautiful and classic winery. I recommend the premium tasting of three wines. You'll get a very good idea of the different Port wine varieties. The guide was very friendly and explained everything well, but perhaps a little too quickly.

The tour is engaging and well-organized, with a perfect balance of education and entertainment. The highlight, of course, is the wine tasting, where you get to sample different styles of Cálem’s famous Ports in a cozy and elegant setting. Some tours also include a fado music performance, which adds a unique cultural touch to the experience.
