Drink Port in Porto Portugal

“As we kept walking to find our port tasting we saw this patio restaurant that offered five tastings for only five Euro. We made note of the location with plans to return. Our tour guide had suggested Ramos Pinto, one of the few original Portuguese port cellars, so we walked there. The tour was in 30 minutes and for 12 Euro it included two tastings. They also sold various ports by the glass from 2 Euro and up. Colin was told [...] that two of the three 2EUR ports were the ones in the tasting and that the third choice, the ruby was the lesser of the three. So he made an executive decision and ordered two glasses of the ten year old port at 4EUR each to enjoy as we waited. It was wonderful but I would not suggest that you do this until after you have had your two tastings. They were no where near as rich as the ten year old port of which we still remembered the smell and the taste.”

“Cálem’s Cellar tour is unique because it focuses almost entirely on the port wine itself, rather than the history of the company. [...] The guided tasting experience was amazing and really made me understand the taste of the different ports. I opted for the premium visit, which includes tasting a White and Dry, Late Bottled Vintage, and 10 Year Old Tawny – and they were very generous pours!”
