Informative tour of one of the world’s best port wine companies through their cellars, concluded with a tasting of two glasses of port in a peaceful garden setting. Hard to fault. 9/10.

Great place to spend an afternoon. The tour was really good & informative, the tasting was wonderful (4 different ports) & lunch outside with the beautiful views was delicious. Two thumbs up 👍👍

Tour and tasting of a Chip Dry and a Late Bottled Vintage is 12€ (price has gone up). Delicious port and cool tour.

Best Port tour & tasting in town. Lots to learn about how Port jds made, and then a solid tasting bar as well. Don’t leave without trying at least the 30 year. The 1967 was phenomenal!

I love this place! Caves with many barrels and so tasty wine. You will pay 15 EUR for visit, tour through caves and tasting of 2 glasses of wine.

Great addition to our trip in Porto. Lovely winery with a short but great tour visit in French. Friendly staff and the location is just amazing.
Maurice KirschbaumSeptember 27, 2015
Food, location, price and quality of port wine. This place really got it all right! The hike up is not for the faint of heart though! But really a gem we discovered on our last night in Porto!
Bruno BMarch 24, 2018
12€ for a audioguide tour with 2 wine tastings. Very informative but you can find cheaper cellars in Gaia.
Catherine AMarch 24, 2017
The terrace and garden were beautiful. We arrived too late to do the tour, but we shared full glasses of 10-, 20-, and 30-year ports for 28€.

A single tasting is enough for 2 people to both enjoy and get a sense of the varying flavors. Peacocks and roosters roam free in the garden
Frederic DAugust 12, 2017
Very nice tour with tasting of 2 Porto wines. Did get quite a lot more expensive than previous reviews though: 12 euro but I think that is the going price nowadays in Porto

I liked the LBV 2009 best. Buy a souvenir bottle at the airport duty free shop (for the same price) if you’re here on a low cost flight without checked baggage.

Tour the 300 year old wine caves and enjoy the Port tasting. Great combination!
Clo WillaertsMay 9, 2013
The most beautiful spot to enjoy the sunshine with a glass of port in your hand. Nice restaurant. It was the waiter's first day but he made up for his mistakes with a lot of charm.
Audrey MacIsaacNovember 13, 2012
Worth the walk up the hill for the tasting - it's a bargain compared to the houses on the river and of higher quality plus the river and Porto views are amazing.
Stefano PedroAugust 2, 2017
The tour is now 12€, it's not made by a guide but with just an audio device and includes only 2 glasses of port. The winery is nice and there are a lot of info panels but it's a bit disappointing.
Michael RiksmanMay 10, 2017
Seen some tips suggesting €3 or €5 tours. It's €12pp, and includes a taste teste of a white and a red port. Tour was average. Loved the port though.
Heiner TwenhäfelAugust 16, 2016
Best value for money of all the Port cellars around. And definitely the best view on their terrace. Well worth the walk!
tiff pangJuly 10, 2014
Lovely wine tasting tour, English tour guide is very knowledgeable; patio has a fantastic view over the city
Daria RoOctober 23, 2015
Guided tour is too short and not so informative, though the tasting is nice and the view from the terrace is amazing
Allison KasicNovember 26, 2016
This is the perfect lodge to start at because the tour is the most in depth and informative.
Rodionoff DmitryJune 20, 2017
€12 for a nice excursion and two glasses of Porto vine
Mika MorApril 15, 2017
The restaurant is great with a very nice outdoor seating terrace over looking the river & city. Highly recommended
Pete CaselliniAugust 30, 2017
If you're walking over the bridge from Porto, it'll save a lot of time and effort if you ignore Google's directions and shortcut down through General Torres station
Matúš KollárJuly 30, 2012
Taylor's is a classic. Impressive experience, enhanced by great guided tour. I recommended the LBV or, if you have money for it, Vintage. I'm sure that whichever you will choose, you will be satisfied
Mindy YapOctober 19, 2018
The cheeses were great. With the awesome port of course.
Petr MJune 13, 2015
My first cave in Porto, worth the walk uphill. Beautiful garden, felt like in Paradise. Tour was bit short.
Nicolas BrugneauxJune 14, 2018
The wine is delicious, though the waiters are a bit (very) pretentious somehow.
Sophie DuvekotAugust 13, 2018
The tour and Port tasting was good. Beautiful environment as well.
Panos P.August 23, 2017
Great experience! The glass of 30 years old worths the money!
Rafael PenagosSeptember 21, 2017
4 glasses of great wine, great ambient, just 15€ to finish a lovely day in the city
Monica DesaiJune 20, 2018
No need to do the tour, but enjoy their LBV and vintages in the beautiful garden!
EliseOctober 12, 2019
Not bad, lovely large tasting room and outside patio. More expensive menu and good not great snacks. Feels touristy.
Matthias MorelSeptember 28, 2014
After the tasting, grab your port and take a seat on the balcony.. Great views of Porto
Bryan LlorenteSeptember 3, 2019
Beautiful Caves and great garden in the bar to taste the wines
Nabil BazzariJune 6, 2017
Love this place. Wine tasting. Amazing port. Lovely garden
Sofia UzJune 3, 2016
Amazingly beautiful wine warehouse and grounds, try white ports and watch peacock

best beef we had in Portugal. all oter disher were great too
Lara GenelFebruary 27, 2018
The tour now is 12euros per person and they only give you 2 tasting of wine which is not even their best. We were planing to have lunch there but then it wouldn’t worth the money. I don’t recommend.
Maria DanishevskayaMarch 9, 2016
There is awesome terrace for tasting port!
Ioanna MstiJune 11, 2019
Great atmosphere, polite stuff, maybe the best vintage ruby in town!

Learn about the history of port wine in one of the oldest port companies of its kind.
Tomer NivMarch 11, 2018
12 euro for cost-effective long and interesting tour and tasting.
mike boogaardJuly 28, 2010
Go here for one of the most informative (and enjoyable) Port Tours. Great views. Also the Barão Forrester restuarant is the most beautiful spot in Gaia for lunch.
Jonas 🙌🏻July 21, 2015
Really interesting Tour and great port wines! Worth a visit!
Steve SchwartzSeptember 25, 2016
Obviously adjusted to tourists, now 12 euro for tour and 2 tastings. Hour long audio machine. City maps have extra glass promotion.
Aashima RattiSeptember 19, 2018
Skip the tour and the restaurant, just have a tasting and cheese in the garden
Daniel SavchenkoApril 20, 2015
