1.Cálem Cellar with Chocolate, Cheese, and Wine Tasting

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 310 reviews · 1 hour · from $53Our pick

At Cálem Cellars, a live guide explains Port production and the Douro region before you taste Late Bottle Vintage, Vintage, and 20-year-old tawny with cheese, chocolate, crackers, and jam. The visit also includes the Cálem Interactive Museum. Tours run in English, Spanish, French, and Portuguese; guides have included Matthew and Anna.

“Because we were there on a cold, rainy day we were the only people on the English tour so it was like a private tour for us! Matthew our guide was very informative and entertaining. Would recommend if you are interested in learning about the history and manufacturing of port wine. The tasting was a good way to compare the different varieties you just learned about.”

Guide Maria has led tours with expert food and wine commentary, though your guide may vary. The route ends on Rua das Flores, and tastings can differ by day.

“Be prepared to eat a lot. This tour starts with a typical Porto breakfast consisting of coffee with a pastry (Jesuita). After that we kept walking and reached the farmers market where we had a snack consisting of bacalao (codfish), cavala and sardines with bread, chorizos and hams and wines. We kept walking and had lunch at Santiago where we had the traditional franceschina. Our tour guide Maria is a chef and a wine expert and as so took us to eat and drink the best of Porto. Mari we will be back!”
