The authentic Porto experience on foot, ending with a guided Port wine tasting.
This is one of the best ways to experience Porto’s historic centre and wine culture in a short time.
This immersive walking experience begins at your accommodation, where your private guide introduces you to Porto’s layered identity: medieval, mercantile, and deeply authentic.
You will explore the historic Sé district and descend through the narrow streets of Ribeira, a UNESCO World Heritage site where every façade tells a story. Crossing the iconic Luís I Bridge, the experience shifts into the world of Port wine, with a guided visit to one of the historic cellars in Vila Nova de Gaia.
Inside the ageing warehouses, you will understand the craft behind Port wine before concluding with a curated tasting that reveals the differences between Tawny, Ruby and White varieties.
