Reviews of Churchill's Lodge (Winery)

Sean Gibson

A real treat. The basic taster menu is brilliant and very affordable; tastes of the more expensive options confirm that they are still a very reasonably priced indulgence. The staff are friendly, knowledgeable and engaged. No tour necessary to access the tastings. A lovely experience.

Peter Bauer

Extrardinery expirience! As we came completely uneducated we were given a lot of informations and even more practical experiences...felt in love with Port wine thanks to Nuno from Churchills ...thanks a lot

Josh K

Valentina Brindusoiu

The tasting was good value for money. The person tending to us was clearly quite knowledgeable. Wasn't impressed with the staff's rudeness. No, I didn't have a reservation but why did I need one? Only 3 tables were taken, a lot of the staff were busy chatting to each other. The lady who eventually let us sit down was so snobbish. Nobody else came while we were there so it's not like they were waiting for a large group. Terrible attitude towards customers.

Daniel Franklin

Booking system is an email - hard to deal with

Patrick Zirkl

(Translated) Very interesting tour, nice staff and good and informal tasting! We were allowed to take the tasting and the tour for free because we were customers of the hotel "Da Bolsa" - otherwise it would have cost 5 € (but I'm not quite sure) (Original) Sehr interessante Führung ,nettes Personal und gute und zwanglose Verkostung! Wir durften die Verkostung und die Führung gratis beanspruchen da wir Kunden des Hotel „Da Bolsa“ waren - ansonsten hätte es 5€ gekostet (bin mir aber nicht ganz sicher)

Paulo Costa

(Translated) Great price quality (Original) Ótima qualidade preço

George Nica

Tour unavailable without prior reservation. Stuffy tasting room, felt even more oppressive after the uphill walk. On the plus side tasting options looked interesting and staff seemed friendly. No point staying with better/more comfortable/open options around.

Michaelle Boneli

(Translated) Márcia is incredible. Her explanation makes our eyes shine. (Original) A Márcia é incrível. A explicação dela faz os nossos olhos brilharem.

Valentina Valentina

(Translated) It was a winery that was introduced by the host airbnb, and I received a lot of questions. I buy 4 bottles! (Original) airbnb호스트의 소개로 가게된 와이너리인데 많은질문도 잘 받아주시고, 관심있어하니 서비스 와인까지 주셔서 너무 좋았어요. 4병이나 사가네요!최고에요!

Juan Carlos FS

(Translated) Incredible visit to this winery, firstly the very attentive and friendly guide and giving us a very enjoyable and educational visit, then he was explaining the different classes that there were while we were tasting. I have tried different ports but these were especially good because when trying them I did They gave a sensation of alcohol in fact the person who came with me does not drink alcohol and he loved it in fact we filled two bottles and the next day when we returned to buy more they did not open in the afternoon. If you want to try something good, go to this winery, get the Ruby Reserve Port for € 15 and the Late Bottle Vintage 2005 for a very good € 25. (Original) Increíble visita a esta bodega, en primer lugar el guía muy atento y simpático y dándonos una visita muy amena y didáctica , luego nos estuvo explicando las diferentes clases que había mientras catábamos.Yo he probado diferentes oportos pero estos estaban especialmente buenos porque al probarlos no daban sensación de alcohol de hecho la persona que venía conmigo no bebe alcohol y le encantó de hecho nos llenamos dos botellas y al día siguiente cuando volvíamos a comprar más no abrían por la tarde. Si tenéis ganas de probar algo bueno id a esta bodega pille el Ruby Reserve Port 15€ y el Late Bottle Vintage 2005 por 25€ buenísimos.

Bartek Bilek

(Translated) Very tasty, dry Porto. The cheapest trip combined with a tasting of three wines 7.5 €. We caught the English tour at 4 p.m., the guide was very nice and she talked passionately about grape growing, different methods of producing and bottling wines. I recommend (Original) Bardzo smaczne, wytrawne Porto. Najtańsza wycieczka połączona z degustacją trzech win 7,5€. Załapaliśmy się na wycieczkę po angielsku o godzinie 16, Pani przewodniczka była bardzo miła i z pasją opowiadała o hodowli winogron, różnych sposobach produkcji i rozlewania win. Polecam

Rúben Cardoso

(Translated) It's a rafadex restaurant, but it pays off in the view, a guy takes the chavala and spends a night even at the chiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiili (Original) É um restaurante rafadex, mas compensa na vista, um gajo leva a chavala e passa uma noite mesmo no chiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiili

Sun Kyung Ji

(Translated) As the hotel owner recommended, I got off the cable car and walked up the hill. I didn't drink much, so I ordered the classic 7.5 euro course (3 tastings). Five o'clock was the last tour, so I booked over the phone, arrived five ten minutes ago, had two drinks, a winery tour and a drink. The snacks were crackers and everyone was kind and had a good time. The kids don't drink so it's free ~ (Original) 호텔주인이 추천해준대로 케이블카를 타고 내려서 언덕으로 한참 걸어올라갔어요. 술을 많이 마시지 않는편이라 클래식 7.5유로 코스(3잔 시음) 로 주문했어요. 5시가 마지막 투어라고해서 전화로 예약했고, 5시 10분 전에 도착해서 두잔마시고 와이너리투어하고 마저한잔 마셨어요. 안주는 크래커 주었고 다들 친절하셔서 즐거운 시간보냈습니다. 애들은 술못마시므로 무료~투어는 같이했네요

Danielle Gilbride

Unbelievable experience. Beautiful wine and had the best tour with Alex. He was so sweet and so knowledgeable. Would recommend to anyone!!

(Original) Осталось очень положительное впечатление. Экскурсия была интересной и подробной, ни один вопрос не остался без ответа. Экскурсовод большой молодец! Дегустация есть на любой вкус.

Silvia Sordi

(Translated) excellent port company born from a rib of graham's (Churchill was the surname of the wife) excellent tasting of verticals and visit to an exhaustive cellar. Is worth. (Original) ottima azienda di porto nata da una costola della graham's ( Churchill era il cognome della moglie) ottima degustazione di verticali e visita in cantina esaustiva. Vale la pena.

Enrique Gutierrez

(Translated) Very friendly and very interesting (Original) Muy amables y muy interesante

Brock Henderson

Picked this one because it was a bit off the tourists track and was highly rated. Glad we did. The four of us got a tour all to ourselves with Nuno who gave us a great tour and answered a whole lot of questions. Great times.

Антон Бражников

(Translated) Great tasting and amazing port. Special thanks to Leela for professionalism and hospitality. (Original) Отличная дегустация и потрясающие портвейны. Отдельное спасибо Лиле за профессионализм и гостеприимство.

Dushku

We really enjoyed this port, the tour was small and the experience was more personal. The port was better than most because it wasn't as sweet. Newer wineries are sometimes more in-touch with what the newer generations are looking for.

Miguel Eu

(Translated) Good wines, a bit poor local (Original) Buenos vinos, local un poco pobre

Francois BOUSSIN

(Translated) Great tour with an excellent guide. The tasting is superb and very well organized. Graham is really beautiful wines (Original) Visite formidable avec un excellent guide. La dégustation est superbe et très bien organisée. Graham c'est vraiment de magnifiques vins

El trato del chico que nos atendió super atento y nos explicó todo muy bien además del trato maravilloso. Nos encantó el vino y nos llevamos dos botellas del que más nos gustó con un precio asequible.

nelson neves

(Translated) A smaller cellar, younger, and further away from the tourist center: they could be negative factors, but the excellent quality of the wines, and the professionalism and friendliness of the guides make this an excellent and indispensable place on the Gaia cellar route. Congratulations! (Original) Uma cave mais pequena, mais jovem, e mais afastada do centro turístico: podiam ser factores negativos, mas a excelente qualidade dos vinhos, e o profissionalismo e simpatia dos guias tornam este local excelente e indispensável na rota das caves de Gaia. Parabéns!

Carla Meneses

(Translated) Catarina was an excellent guide and very enlightening. I never thought I would enjoy the visit so much. Very attentive and 5 * wine tasting. (Original) A Catarina foi uma excelente guia e muito esclarecedora. Nunca pensei gostar tanto da visita. Muito atenciosos e prova de vinhos 5*.

Ruben Leeffers

(Translated) We took a tour at Churchill's. This one was quite short (7/23/18) because we were not allowed to look somewhere because of a crack in the wall. Furthermore, a good and nice woman who knew a lot about the company. The tasting was very nice and delicious. (Original) We hebben een rondleiding gehad bij Churchill's. Deze was vrij kort (23/7/18) omdat we ergens niet mochten kijken vanwege een barst in de muur. Verder wel goede en aardige vrouw die veel wist over het bedrijf. De proeverij was erg leuk en lekker.

Oriol Venteo Fernandez

(Translated) Perfect, both the visit and the wines (Original) Perfecto, tanto la visita como los vinos

Orquídea Barros

They are always amazing, and so is the wine.

Penn Libellus

What an amazing experience. I have done other port wine tours in Porto but Churchill's was definitely the best one so far. Everyone at the winery is super nice and knowledgeable. The winery is a bit of a walk from the touristy area but totally worth it!

Rui Lucas

One of the oldest port wine producers. Most people doesn't know that the founder was Mr. Churchill Grahams. Does it means something? Find what!

Philip Utagawa

Excellent wines and service!

Rui Figueira

(Translated) Family atmosphere with great wines I recommend (Original) Ambiente familiar com ótimo s vinhos recomendo

Pedro Moreira

(Translated) As a Lisboner and a foreigner to this habitat, I found in Quinta da Gricha the complete satisfaction of my expectations of what would be a Douro farm. Upon arrival, a jaw-dropping view, followed by a tasting and impeccable lunch with a familiar and friendly touch. Unique site and worth every cent. I loved it and will always recommend it. The port dry aperitif is an undiscovered gem. Ssshhhhh (Original) Como lisboeta e estrangeiro para este habitat, encontrei na quinta da gricha a completa satisfação da minha expectativa do que seria uma quinta do Douro. Ao chegar, uma vista de cair o queixo, seguido de uma prova e almoço irrepreensível com toque familiar e amigável. Sítio único e a valer cada cêntimo. Adorei e recomendarei sempre. O port dry aperitif é uma pérola por descobrir. Ssshhhhh

(Translated) There was review that we had to make a reservation, but review went well. When I went in, I didn't make a reservation but I asked if the tour was available, and the staff asked me to wait for a while and then asked if I could join another team. Compared to other wineries, the history is short and small but kind and passionate about tours and tastings. Value for money seems to be the best. After picking up a 7.5 euro port wine tasting for three glasses, I heard about the tour, the making of the wine and the history of the winery. There were many questions, but I could hear the kind answers one by one. Tasting started immediately after the tour, and delicious crackers were also served. It was a good time. Feeling a little introductory to the world of wine .. ^^ I came up with a gift of wine. (Original) 예약을 하지 않으면 안된다는 리뷰가 있었지만 워낙 리뷰가 좋아 가 보았다. 들어가서는 예약을 안했는데 투어가 가능할지 물어보았고 직원이 잠깐 기다려보라고 한 후 다른 팀과 합류가 가능한지 확인 후 바로 들어오라고 했다. 다른 와이너리에 비해 비교적 역사는 짧고 규모는 작지만 투어와 시음만큼은 친절하고 열정적이었다. 가성비는 최고일 듯 싶다. 세 잔에 7.5유로 포트와인 시음을 선택한 후 바로 투어시작, 포트와인을 만드는 과정과 와이너리의 역사에 대해 들었다. 질문이 많았는데 하나 하나 친절한 답을 들을 수 있었다. 투어가 끝나고 바로 시음을 시작했는데 맛있는 크래커도 서비스로 제공받았다. 알차고 유익한 시간이었다. 와인의 세계에 살짝 입문한 기분..^^ 선물용 와인을 들고 기분좋게 나왔다.

김민호

(Translated) Please go really By default, the tasting is 3 glasses for 7.5 euros per person. I wasn't good at drinking so two people asked if they could tasting only one port of wine. By the way, Douro wine, three port wine, and high-quality red wine to provide as a service ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;; I got 5 cups per person and the total amount was 7.5 euros in total.Even the crackers just gave me a drink together. Kind, delicious and warm place Have a nice day (Original) 꼭꼭 가세요 정말요 기본적으로 테이스팅이 인당 7.5유로에 3잔입니다. 술을 잘하지 못해서 두 명이 한 명치만의 포트와인만 테이스팅할 수 있는지 물었고 나눠주겠다고 하였습니다. 그런데 도우루와인을 시작으로 포트와인 3잔, 그리고 하이퀄리티의 레드와인까지 서비스로 제공해주셔서;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;; 인당 5잔씩이 나왔고 금액은 둘이 합쳐서 총 7.5유로를 받았습니다...심지어 크래커도 그냥 주셨어요 같이 드시라며....뷰도 좋고 남자 서버 분 눈망울이 촉촉하고 속눈썹도 예쁘게 올라가 계십니다 진짜 최고에요 저 울어요 친절하고 맛있고 따뜻한 곳이에요 좋은 하루 보내세요

Dalécio Demétrio

(Translated) Cave very nice and with excellent service. Only sin by not having accessibility (like many places in Portugal). I was with my daughter sleeping in the stroller and had to carry them (my daughter + the stroller) in her arms up the stairs. Anyway, I recommend the place and tasting of wines. (Original) Cave muito agradável e com excelente atendimento. Só peca por não ter acessibilidade (como muitos lugares em Portugal). Eu estava com minha filha dormindo no carrinho e tive que levá-los (minha filha + o carrinho) nos braços, escadas acima. De qualquer forma, recomendo o local e a degustação dos vinhos.

Cathrine Curting

Great place for port tasting. More present and service minded and less commercial than many of the other port houses. In general more value for money.

We arrived at the Vila Nova de Gaia location late in the day. Nuno made us feel like we were his first guest ever. Warm, passionate, knowledgeable and genuine.

We were appointed a very friendly and professional guide. Like the Churchill history. I specifically liked the idea that they have Douro Table wine

Rex Accavallo

Had a really great time here. We did the port tasting and tour. It was like 7 euro per person for the tasting. All of the staff was really friendly and made a great experience. I ended up having 6 bottles shipped back to the US which was not a problem we just had to fill out a 1 page piece of paper. Highly recommended and would definitely return

Luciano Lingnau

Looks interesting, they require prior reservations(by phone) for the tours though.

Miguel Oliveira

(Translated) How I loved this experience. The wine tasting. Wow...thanks for everything. I will return for sure. (Original) Como adorei esta experiência. A prova dos vinhos. UaU ... obrigado por tudo. Voltarei certamente.

We tasted wine and ports a few days ago and loved it. It was short and sweet and we were able to learn a lot about port. The staff are incredibly warm and friendly as well as knowledgeable.

Daniel Gent

Loved this place. Great place, great ports, and great service. The guy that served us was the first person I've ever understood fully in Portuguese as well. Great times

(Translated) Excellent for a cocktail or snack. Quiet place with a beautiful view over the city of Porto. (Original) Excelente para um cocktail ou lanche. Lugar tranquilo com uma bela vista sobre a cidade do Porto.

Abi Maghamfar

For the youngest port lodge in Oporto, Churchill has great tasting products. The white port is aged in wood and had this amber color similar to an old tawny. The tasting room is quaint and staff are very friendly. Pedro Guimarenz who did the tasting for us was very friendly and informative. Churchill's classic tasting of 3 ports, dry white, reserve and 10-year Tawny is 5€, which is very reasonable. They have other tasting packages from 10€ and up. Their oldest tawny is 30-year old Tawny. Their 2011 Late Bottled Port is a wonderful port and it is unfiltered but unfortunately they're sold out, so, buy it if you find it in a bottle shop.

Hipólito Llanes

(Translated) Charming place, exquisite wine, and professionals in their attention (Original) Lugar encantador, vino esquisito, y profesionales en su atención

Second time we visited for port tasting during our time in Porto. The staff was friendly and very knowledgeable about the port making our visit memorable. We even were able to get a quick visit to the cellar. Can not recommend this place highly enough.

Dirk van den Brand

Small winery established in 1982. Had a very interesting free tour and the tasting was only 7.50 Euro. Very nice quality Ports and wines ranging from ruby to vintage. I'll take this over the big companies every day.

Daniel May

Best Port House we went round guide was great and extremely knowledgeable and went the extra mile for you in the tastings explaining everything

Katarzyna K.

Great and private experience, our group was small so during the tour (short but informative) we could ask all the questions we wanted. The staff was helpful and kind. Even the basic port wine tasting is a great value for money (7.50euro per person for 3 glasses + a little rose wine for appetizer). You can also buy additional glasses or bottles. The place does not seem so "touristy" which is an advantage! We will recommend to any friends visiting Porto!

Hacquin Océane

(Translated) Just perfect ! We were guided by Catarina who speaks perfect French (bilingual) and who was able to explain everything to us in great detail. Much more family-friendly than the big, well-known companies but while having excellent quality Port wines, I highly recommend you to go and check it out, it's definitely worth it! (Original) Juste parfait ! Nous avons été guidés par Catarina qui parle parfaitement français (bilingue) et qui a pu tout nous expliquer dans les moindre détails. Beaucoup plus familial que les grandes entreprises plus connues mais tout en ayant des vins de Porto d'excellente qualité, je vous recommande grandement d'aller y faire un tour, ça en vaut vraiment le coup !

We visited Churchills with two children. The staff could not have been more friendly and treated our children so well, even playing with them while we tasted. The various ports we tasted were delicious and we ended up ordering six, but the basic red/white wine tasting was just okay. Double check when you're told that your tasting will be comped. We were, told our two tastings would be; however, only the very inexpensive table wine tasting was...

Fleeteck Forrester

Great port wine Tasting. Starting from 7,50 Euro per Person. The 25 Minute tour is included and was very interesting. Our tour guide definitely was happy to work there and enjoys the wine himself very much too ????

Joe Babinski

Woweeee!! I'm still feeling the love from this establishment. We were a party of 3 and ordered classic, tawny and ruby tastings. We got well into the late bottle vintage and vintage selections. Carmen was welcoming, informative and generous. She will convert you to loving ruby. I know, previously I was a tawny fan. Churchill's is a young house but going places. Drier in style vs other houses but with great results. Don't go higher up the hill. Nip in here for a nip and then another nip.

VisitJohore

Excellent tour. Wine tasting tour starts from $7.50 per person. The tour is comprehensive and provides good introduction to Port wine making. Churchill is a youngest Port wine maker. Whats the difference to other Port wine maker? Their wines are less sweet, has more structure and maturity to its taste.

peggy peschiera

(Translated) A young cellar that is worth the detour .. a pleasant surprise .. very friendly, friendly and warm chatarina guide I recommend 200% .. thank you (Original) Un cave jeune qui vaut le detour ..un agreable surprise ..guide chatarina tres conviviale sympathique et chaleureuse je recommande a 200%..merci a vous

Claudia Windisch

(Translated) If you want to escape the tourist bustle and would like to enjoy a very detailed almost familiar Portweinverkostung is at Churchill's just right! Very nice staff, the explanations and tasting at each table individually, no Massenabvertigung, the tour of the cellar with just 10 people .... and the port wines a force. Absolute recommendation, no comparison to Calmar or similar. Cost: for us as a customer of the Duro Marina, otherwise 7,50 € p.P. (3 wines) (Original) Wer dem Touristen-Trubbel entgehen will und eine sehr ausführliche fast familiäre Portweinverkostung genießen möchte, ist bei Churchill's genau richtig! Sehr nettes Personal, die Erklärungen und Verkostung an jedem Tisch einzeln, keine Massenabvertigung, die Führung durch die Weinkeller mit gerade mal 10 Personen....und die Portweine eine Wucht. Absolute Empfehlung, kein Vergleich zu Calmar o.ä. Kosten: für uns kostenlos als Kunden der Duro Marina, sonst 7,50 € p.P. (3 Weine)

Yes, the youngest of the producers, but offers perhaps the best value for your experience. A flight of three for 5 Euros, should put a smile on your face?

We had a fun and informative wine tour, and a brilliant wine tasting afterwards with some cheese. Doesn’t feel very touristy, and the staff is great. Nice ambiance.

(Translated) Young winery, very pleasant visit, I can not compare with others, very good service. (Original) Bodega joven, la visita muy agradable, no puedo comparar con las de otras, muy buena atención.

Vittorio Arturi

(Translated) Wonderful cellar where you can taste the excellent Port of all kinds. They also have a spectacular riverside garden. (Original) Splendida cantina dove degustare dell'ottimo Porto di ogni tipo. Hanno anche un giardino sul fiume spettacolare.

Paula Rei

(Translated) Good tasting, very good wine and different from what we are used to in a Port wine! White is great. Impossible to leave without a bottle ???? young and very friendly staff. Nuno is a great host! (Original) Boas provas muito bom vinho e diferente do que estamos habituados num vinho do Porto! O branco é ótimo. Impossível sair de lá sem uma garrafa ???? staf jovem e mto simpático. O Nuno é um ótimo anfitrião!

(Translated) I stumbled upon Churchills more by accident and ended up having a very good and very friendly tour of the winery. I was offered to take part in the Spanish-speaking tour, which I accepted very gratefully. Then suddenly I had my own private tour in English. The tour was very informative and interesting. My questions were answered patiently and so I had a really nice experience, which was crowned with a delicious wine tasting. You can choose which and how many wines you want to taste. The price is also based on this, which in my opinion is corresponding. It is not essential for a visit to Churchills, but from the toilet you have a panoramic view of Porto and the Ponte Dom Luis :) Of course, I can recommend a visit to the winery without stopping to use the toilet! ;) (Original) Ich bin mehr durch Zufall bei Churchills vorbeigestolpert und hatte am Ende eine sehr gute und sehr freundliche Führung durch die Weinkellerei. Man hat mir angeboten an der spanischsprachigen Tour teilzunehmen, was ich sehr dankbar angenommen habe. Dann hatte ich plötzlich meine eigene Privatführung in englischer Sprache. Die Führung war super informativ und interessant. Auf meine Fragen wurde geduldig eingegangen und so hatte ich ein wirklich schönes Erlebnis, das mit einer leckeren Weinverkostung gekrönt wurde. Dabei hat man die Wahl, welche und wie viele Weine man verkosten möchte. Daran orientiert sich auch der Preis, der meiner Meinung nach entsprechend ausfällt. Es ist zwar nicht ausschlaggebend für einen Besuch bei Churchills, aber von der Toilette aus hat man einen Panoramablick auf Porto und die Ponte Dom Luis :) Natürlich kann ich den Besuch der Weinkellerei auch ohne Toilettenstop empfehlen! ;)

Super tour & great taste of their Porto wines. Lisa, you are the best!!!

Tony Fernandez

We were there Apr-28-2016 with a voucher from the Intercontinental Porto-Palacio Das Cardosas. Tasted four different ports including white and reds, accompanied with cheese and crackers. Churchill's staff treated us like royalty, providing detailed information about the history of the winery and the ports we tasted. Our guide was the best!

Timothée Pobel

(Translated) Visit in French. € 5 per person to taste 3 different Ports, with explanations. The cellar even offered us a glass of 20 years of age to compare. Followed by a visit to their cellar. Let us take the time to taste it. To advice :) (Original) Visite en français. 5€ par personne pour déguster 3 Porto différents, avec les explications. La cave nous a même offert un verre de 20 ans d'âge pour comparer. Suivi d'une visite de leur cave. Nous laisse prendre le temps de la dégustation. A conseiller :)

Maarten Van de Vrande

No. Don't go here!!! We felt very unwelcome and were treated very poorly. When we came in we had to ask if we could be seated, 2 hrs before closing. They had to check. After us we saw others kindly being appointed a seat. The place was half empty. We had to ask for attention if we could pretty please order. We had 2 tastings, with some cheese: 31 euro. Then, we already got the 3rd round of Port whilst we were still on our 1st, rushing the experience. The 1st lady explaining about the Port seemed bored and uninterested. The tasting room is without atmosphere. When paying to leave (within the hour), we found out it should have included a free tour with the tasting, and we were not invited/ no one told us. The Ukranian lady taking the money laughingly told us "well you havent lost anything". Wow, I guess thats not the attitude the owner wants you to have? It's sad that we were treated like this because we came to Porto for a tasting, and felt very unwelcome. I do NOT recommend this place because of our experience.

(Translated) Just outside the tourist area this is a fantastic port house. Affordable, good and nice service. (Original) Net buiten het toeristisch gebied is dit een fantastisch port huis. Betaalbaar, goed en aardige bediening.

Jo Molony

Brilliant. Loved the wine. Just go there. Good value tastings, but oh so slippery. Port as it should be.

Juan Prieto Rodriguez

I attended the English tour and it was wonderful. The staff was very profesional but also really kind and nice. The basic taste (three different wines) was the best value for money in the area (we visited three other cellers). Although It is 5 minuts walking from the river, it deserves the walk. Do not miss it!!!

Robert Rudaś

(Translated) In spite of the age of the infant in relation to the dudes (founding in 1981), they do not give way, and even in some types (white dry port) it surpasses. (Original) Pomimo wieku niemowlaka w stosunku do tuzów (rok założenia 1981) nic im nie ustępuje, a nawet w niektórych rodzajach (białe wytrawne porto) przewyższa.

Jaime Mozo Dutton

The highlight of our holiday in Porto. Classy location, informative tour and by Jove that Port was something special... and they ship it home for you if you wish to buy some, which we did, we very much did indeed

emmmy promo

(Translated) Great tour with a guide who really knew her. Younger cellar and therefore smaller, very interesting to compare with the most commercial. The tasting visit is really less expensive than the others (half the price of other cellars). (Original) Super visite avec une guide qui s'y connaissait vraiment. Plus jeune cave et donc plus petite, très interressante à comparer avec les plus commerciales. La visite avec dégustation est vraiment moins chere que les autres ( la moitié du prix des autres caves).

Peter Stephens

Fantastic tour and tasting room. Nice being at a smaller less commercial wine and port producers

Андрей Зайцев

(Translated) Great atmosphere. Despite the high price tag of wines, there are tastings with a very affordable price. In the winery there is a guide Tatyana, who speaks Russian, who conducted an excellent and very informative tasting. I am pleased to be back here. (Original) Прекрасная атмосфера. Несмотря на высокий ценник вин, есть дегустации с очень демократичной ценой. В винодельне есть гид Татьяна, говорящая по-русски, которая провела отличную и очень познавательную дегустацию. С удовольствием вернусь сюда.

Vitor Oliveira

(Translated) Today I went to try to get to know your garden and the new bar, to my amazement when I got there (Friday 12th of June 17 h) was closed, which contradicts the information about the days and times of the space's operation. To regret. (Original) Fui hoje tentar conhecer o vosso jardim e o novo bar , para meu espanto quando lá cheguei (sexta feira 12 de Junho 17 h) estava fechado, o que contraria a imformação sobre os dias e horários do funcionamento do espaço. A lamentar.

Dario Martínez

(Translated) A good experience, recommended, the Catarina girl very friendly and expert in this subject. (Original) Toda una buena experiencia,recomendable,la chica Catarina muy amable y experta en este tema.

(Translated) Good experience. Visit with tasting. (Original) Bonne expérience. Visite avec dégustation.

(Translated) Charming small winery people are worth it and at a very good price comparing other wineries (Original) Gente encantadora bodega pequeña merece la pena y a muy buen precio comparando otras bodegas

Martine Keryhuel

(Translated) Very nice and good time! A very attentive welcome and tasting with explanations in French! After the tasting: short guided tour (possible in French by reservation). Arrived unexpectedly we followed it in English and despite our average level we understood perfectly. This house, last born in 1981, is very mature in the development of its blends and offers drier wines than what we are used to finding in France: a real discovery and a delight to taste! (Original) Très beau et bon moment ! Un accueil très prévenant et dégustation avec explications en français ! Après la dégustation : petite visite commentée (possible en français sur réservation). Arrivés à l'improviste nous l'avons suivie en anglais et malgré notre niveau moyen nous avons parfaitement compris. Cette maison, dernière née en 1981, est très mature dans l'élaboration de ses assemblages et propose des vins plus secs que ce que nous avons l'habitude de trouver en France : une vraie découverte et un ravissement à la dégustation !

Melissa Valentin

(Translated) Great welcome, nice little visit, very good Porto to taste I recommend it true . The guides are more than great (Original) Super accueil, petit visite sympas, tres bon Porto a déguster je le recommande vrai . Les guide sont plus que super
