    • 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.

    Visita sem guia, os sensores interativos do museu não estavam funcionando direito, e na área de degustação, deixaram as portas de vidro abertas em meio à tempestade e ventania.

    Excellent visit, a wine cellar that deserves to be better known! Although smaller than others and perhaps less well-known, it's well worth the detour. Pablo, our guide, was very friendly and professional. The fado performance was simply superb and moving; the atmosphere and the very intimate setting were wonderful. We opted for the package with a meal included. The meal took place in a separate room, not a very welcoming space for a restaurant. It was probably created for events or for the package deals that included the visit, fado, and meal. A shame. Despite this, the meal was delicious, and the staff were very kind and helpful.
