    • Visit to the Fonseca cellar, discovering Port

      Live an unmissable experience in the heart of Vila Nova de Gaia, the Fonseca cellars immerse you in the delicious world of Port wine through an exciting guided tour. Origin of Port wine in the Douro Valley, process of making this famous fortified wine and aging technique in the 200-year-old Fonseca cellars, discover all the secrets of Port production.

      Finish the tour with a tasting of the iconic Bin 27 drink or a glass of Douro Valley grape juice, and stop by the shop to take home a nice souvenir. Do you like the friendliness of the Portuguese? Book your tour at 6pm and enjoy a live fado show during your tasting. You can even continue the evening at the restaurant T&C terrace at WOW.

    Wonderful evening and an absolute recommendation! In the very beautiful building we are shown how port wine is made, but we are allowed to taste two wines with fantastic fado accompaniment! This music was also introduced to us. Very well explained and also performed! The very nice evening was rounded off with a three-day menu! Absolute recommendation!!

    Very nice visit to wine cellar. There was a fado performance which was bit too long as place is quite cold and the sample wines were quite small
