2.Porto: Graham’s Port Lodge Tour with Premium Wine Tastings

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 1,547 reviews · 2 hours · from $47Best value

Spend two hours at Graham’s historic lodge in Vila Nova de Gaia, where guides such as Max, James, Laura, and Monica explain Port production before you taste LBV, Quinta dos Malvedos, and 20 Year Old Port with chocolate, cheese, and Pastel de Nata.

“The arrival at the lodge was rather hectic. The address was actually on the other side of the building, but several others were delivered to the wrong side as well. It is not the restaurant side of Grahams. They nicely delivered the group of us to the correct area. The guide was superb. He knew so much about the history of the company, the port production and could answer any questions all of us had. The tasting with the snacks was very good to try the three styles of port after seeing it all in the facility. Well worth going.”

A pie, crackers/cheeses, dips, bread/olive oil. Good mix of red and white wines, mostly Pinot noirs because they are local to the region! The van was a sprinter type van, with a 2/1 seating configuration. At every winery, you had the opportunity to buy full bottles. And there was an option to sign up for a wine club to have NZ…”

Guides such as Peter, Michael, Tony, Eddie, and Sean have all earned warm praise.

“We recently did a wine tasting day tour to Hunter Valley as a group of four girls, and while there were some enjoyable moments, the overall experience was mixed – with the tour starting strong but tapering off quickly in quality and service. Booking & Pre-Tour Experience The booking process was easy and straightforward. We appreciated receiving the waiver via email beforehand – though a helpful improvement would be for the tour description to explicitly mention to watch out for the pre-tour email and waiver (it’s easy to miss!). Pick-Up & Transport Pick-up on the day was on time, and the location was easy to find. However, with multiple tour…”

“The tour itself stopped at a small town for breakfast, 3 wineries each with their own feel, history, and approach to wine making and a local restaurant for lunch. We loved that we were able to not only try amazing Ports and other regional wines from the Douro, but also authentic pastries and meals from the region. The wines we tasted were all phenomenal, the food was interesting and well made, and the views of the Porto and the Douro valley were even more incredible. Luís, our Tour Guide, was truly the highlight of the day. He not only detailed the rich history of the regions/towns as we passed through…”

“Our Tour guide was David. We had an 8 person tour. Perfect size and a great group of people. David was attentive and thorough during the drive. He made sure that we stopped to see several of the vista views. Learned about cork trees and their markings as well. The boat tour with the light snacks and spritz was a nice add, it didn’t feel as touristy due to the small group. The family style lunch was a good introduction to the Duoro wine. And surprising enough, the food was good. All in all, it was a great tour and worth the money. Thanks David!!”
