Excellent visit to this family-owned winery (the only one) in Porto, with a well-informed guide. The tasting was a bit confusing at first, since the tour group consisted of people who had booked different tasting options. You can buy extra glasses of wine or port on the spot, and they offer aperitifs, chocolate, nuts etc, as extras. Well worth the visit, and off the beaten track compared to the big wineries on the quayside.

Great Small Winery Near Porto that does more than just Port. There are plenty of port wine cellars in Gaia. It was to try one that with many varieties of wine. Off the beaten path, but good.

Ports we tried were delicious, and Andreia was fabulous! We wanted to learn more about port production, and she is very knowledgeable. Recommend!

The guided tour with Ines was incredible, she showed us the cellar and she explained us the process of making wine. It was very interesting and she was super nice. The wine tasting was also very good, the place was very cute. It is a great plan for visiting Porto.

Very welcoming and interesting tour with knowledgeable staff. We wanted to go with a port producer that we hadn’t heard of before and it didn’t disappoint. Easy to understand and follow the tour. Tasting experience was fab, again great staff knowledge. Beautiful room For the tasting. Lots available to buy but not pushy at all.

Great tour through the cellars informative without overkill. Perfect tasting at the end with just the right amount of education

Linda_D

Very interesting tour. Very suitable for my husband who uses a walker. I would like to have seen the bottling area or a video of same. Parking on street is free on Saturday and Sunday, this would have been useful to know in advance. A few more nibbles to accompany tastings would have gone down well.
