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

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.”

“Overall, it was fine. When we showed up, they told us that we likely wouldn’t be able to go to the club at the end because we had on sandals that didn’t have a back strap…so we left and returned in sneakers. This should probably be mentioned somewhere on the site so that people can avoid it. The first was cramped, and the drinks were watered down a bit, but overall, it was a nice starting place. The second bar was good. The same goes for the drinks (watered down), but the DJ was good. The third bar took what felt like forever to walk to, and then once there,…”
