    • Burmester Cellars, a wine of tradition and character in Porto


      Overlooking the Douro River near the famous Louis I Bridge, the Burmester Cellars, a true institution in the world of wine and port, are located in Vila Nova de Gaia. Open Monday to Sunday from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. and from 2 p.m. to 7 p.m., they invite you to experience a timeless moment in an authentic Porto setting.


      Burmester Cellars, a story of wine and passion

      The reputation of the JW Burmester Cie company is well established since 1750, Henry Burmester and John Nash joined forces to export Port wine to Europe, a determination taken up and continued by the following generations at the heart of the company. Famous for its Port wine , the Caves Burmester cellars are also a reference in the production of DOC Douro wine, wine gems that seduce palates internationally with their inimitable flavors. More than a visit, it is an incredible experience that is offered to you in Vila Nova de Gaia, the discovery of an authentic wine and a company of character recognized for its determination and its successes.

      What should we remember about J.WBurmester Cie? Its boldness, its determination and its authenticity.

    Hicimos la visita (18€ con dos copas). La guia simpatica, pero la visita ridicula y escasa. Ni ves la bodegas ni nada. Solo 4 botas grandes y 4 botas pequeñas en una sala. La verdad un timo. He realizado muchas visitas en otras bodegas y son 20 veces mejores por el mismo precio.

    Wonderful tasting with Stephanie. Very educational. We learned a lot about port. Ports are absolutely delicious-paired with chocolate to enhance the experience. Well worth the cost.
