    A fantastic place. I learned a lot about the creation of the best wine, Bin 27. A wine tasting is included in the ticket price. You can immerse yourself in the world of vineyards and wine. You can see the barrels in which the wine is stored. The exhibition displays all the important information and interesting facts about the Fonseca winery. Getting to the winery is a bit difficult, as you have to negotiate both uphill and downhill paths on cobblestones, but it's worth it! The winery's friendly staff ensured a pleasant stay.

    A delightful experience. I took this tour with my family and we learned so much about the port winemaking process. Tips, history, and lots of laughs. A young woman from Chile led the tour, and her explanation was very thorough and professional. I highly recommend this winery for both tastings and tours.

    Henrique was fantastic. The port was much tastier than the larger conglomerates. Much more intimate. Only great things to say.
