Sandeman

Dressed with the mantle of the Porto’s University students and a wide-brimmed hat, Don (the iconic Sandeman figure) stands out as dramatic shadowy figure, holding a glass of a ruby coloured Port wine. This is a winery located in a 1797 building with guided tours of Port cellars and tastings, plus a museum and a gift shop. Surely an unforgettable experience to remember for years and years to come.

Casa Ferreira

Founded in 1751, the brand’s history is intertwined with the history of the evolution of the Douro region, demarcated only 5 years after, in 1756. Twice widowed, Dona Antónia Adelaide Ferreira contributed significantly to the consolidation of the brand. Casa Ferreira is one of the essentials when it comes to wine tourism in Portugal. Trust us, you won’t regret!

Avenida Ramos Pinto 70, 4400-082 Vila Nova de Gaia

Ramos Pinto

Right on the riverfront, you can visit the rather grand Ramos Pinto and take a look at its historic offices and ageing cellars. The basic 40-minute tour includes a visit to the museum plus a generous five-Port tasting. A personal touch and autonomy are two of the key factors, which give its wines that unique and distinct characteristic, outlining the development of its work for the future.
