Very nice, nice and nice visit. - We visited Cockburn's at the end of the day. We were well before the start time of the. tour so we could view the museum at ease. (30 min). Then the tour started which stopped briefly in the museum and then immediately went into the cellars where the production of Port was explained and shown. They are beautiful and extensive cellars. After the tour there was a tasting. We opted for the cheapest and the most expensive tasting so the two of us could taste all types of Cockburn's (the tour guide thought this was a clever action). Very nice to be able to taste all types up to 20 years old and a vintage port. What huge taste differences. After two hours we left this Port House satisfied.

Super recommended visit - We loved the visit to the winery and the subsequent port wine tasting. In our case, we chose to taste the wines from the Tawny category, and it was a success. Our guide during the visit was Tatiana, who made it super enjoyable thanks to her kindness and spontaneity. In addition, after the tasting we wanted to have one more glass, and although we paid for a more “modest” wine, she was kind enough to invite us to a glass so that we could taste a Vintage wine and not stay with the desire, a gesture very grateful on her part. Highly recommended visit if you come to Porto/Vila Nova de Gaia.

Excellent visit - Excellent time with Felipe. The visit and tasting were very informative and very friendly. A winery with the recognition of the craft of cooper, an indispensable craft for the quality of port. Must-see.

Fantastic tour and tasting! - First rate tour. Our guide was very knowledgable and gave an informative narrative of the property, history, process, and types of port. Enjoyed the tastings and able to experience a variety of ports between the 3 of us with different flights.

Fantastic Tour - Absolutely brilliant tour guide on the 16.15 English tour in 24/11. Regretfully we didn’t catch his name but he was fantastic. We learned so much from him about the industry, the business, the process, the products. He was a font of knowledge. Tastings were fab too.

Atmospheric delight - We really enjoyed the very atmospheric tour. The young guide was very engaging and knowledgeable and keen to answer our questions. The vast main cellar is a tremendously atmospheric place and the tasting reminded me how much I love port!
