What to expect
- This is the perfect tour for those who want to experience Porto and deepen their wine knowledge at the same time. The journey begins aboard a classic VW, exploring historic streets, bridges, waterfronts and viewpoints that show the essence of the city.
- From there we head to the Wine School at WOW, where theory comes to life in an interactive masterclass: taste, compare, identify aromas, learn about grape varieties and styles. It's an experience designed to transform curiosity into knowledge and passion for wine.
- The afternoon continues in the cellars of Taylor's, one of the biggest names in Port wine. Between barrels and centuries-old corridors, you'll discover the history of a house that has moulded the reputation of this wine around the world. At the end, the tastings elevate the moment - whether it's a classic tasting or a rare selection, each glass tells a story of time, terroir and tradition.
- As it's a long and intense experience, we offer the possibility of adding gastronomic moments to balance out the itinerary: lunch at Restaurante O Robalo, a reference in fresh fish, or traditional snacks at Taberninha do Manel. This gives the tour even more flavour and authenticity.
