Sensational experience. If you have the slightest interest in wine, you will love this exhibition. Everything is in there; from the type of soil to the different sort of vines, how to plant them and the maintenance over every single month in the calendar year, how to produce wine and store it in barrels, producers around the world and all is finishing with Portugal's wine regions and obviously the famous Port wine. We spent more than 5 hours in there...🍷

Pip is one of my favorite restaurants at WOW! It's beautiful and sophisticated with affordable prices! The Italian food is the highlight, but there are other good options too. You can go for both a romantic or family atmosphere too! On weekends, there is a corner with some entertainment for children, which is great because parents have more time to enjoy the drinks and dishes! Adeleine, Romario, Barbara and Jorge, the waiters Jessica and Joana are 5 stars. In short, the entire team is always smiling and the service is impeccable!!! The service is fast and I can't miss my Pink Croft rose wine!!! I really recommend this one because it is one of our favorite restaurants. Thank you to Pip for the care and attention!!

The best! A must in Porto especially on a rainy winter day!! Interactive, full of explanations, beautiful settings and most of the museums come with a little dégustation of wine or porto… I mean what else can someone ask? I suggest the full pass for the day.

Simply spectacular! You could not imagine how beautiful this place is. On top of good information about the history and production of wine is presented in an entertaining way so you really learn a lot having fun. The view of the Duoro river and Porto from the balcony is great.
