    • 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.

      The little extra: A spectacular view of the city of Porto and the Luis I bridge

    Great wines, nice staff, great authentic location. We didn't ask for a wine tour because we didn't see the point. The 20 year old Port wine we had was a dream. The second and third glass was no different. And yes, it was expensive. If low price is not important then don't come here, come to one of the tourist traps by the water. This is not it!

    Arrived at approximately 20 minutes before closing time and stood in front of their glass doors for a while so the staff could see us trying to get in. Even waved my hand but no reaction. We could see some guests inside ordering another round but we were ignored.Guess they didn't need our business🤷 Quite a pity because they were recommended to us by the hotel staff we stayed in.
