Worth the visit! - Had such a nice time! The staff was super friendly. I went solo and the instructor from New Zealand made the experience such an enjoyable time. I really learned a lot.

Wonderful way to spend an afternoon - A wonderful way to spend an afternoon. We selected the 5 wine taster that was catered to our individual tastes. I went for whites, while my husband went for mainly reds, with a rose included too. Our host Marta had extensive knowledge about the wines and we really learnt a lot. We would 100% recommend adding the paired cheese board as it was incredible, we loved the goats cheese with Paprika particularly!! The location was great, and the inside of the wine school was pleasant with great interior decor and air-con, however we chose to sit on the balcony overlooking Vila Nova De Gaia, spectacular view!! We cannot recommend enough!

A wonderful Wine tasting experience - The whole wine tasting experience was perfect. Diego, a professional wine taster, explained the aroma and flavor differences of all the wines. I attended two wine tasting courses, one was Mini-workshops of 5 wines from 5 different wine regions, and the other was Tailor made selection of 5 wines, all of which were very unique. All wine tastings are priced between 20-40 EUR. I hope to participate in the Certified Trainings program in the future if time permits, so that I can have a deeper understanding of the world of wine.

One of the best things we did in Porto! - This was one of the best wine tastings I've ever done. Covering several regions of Portugal, and not bothering with the giant wineries, the tasting explored some unknown (to us) wineries with excellent wines and explained the regional grapes and blends. It was simply fantastic - and you don't have to pay for any of the tours to take advantage of the tasting! The wine educator was extremely knowledgeable and generous with his time and tastings. Can't wait to bring friends to experience this place.
