Hi Lauren, thanks for your message and for reaching out with your questions. Honestly, you’ll not go wrong with visiting any of the Port houses we recommend. Real Companhia Velha is the oldest and worth visiting. While Sanderman and Cockburn’s are also unique in their own rights. In terms of convenience, consider taking a guided tour. Let someone else handle the logistics so that you can relax and fully soak in the experience. Happy to help with tour recommendations if you’d like. Cheers

First off thank you for putting together such a great guide!

I was wondering what your top 2-3 choices would be? I am feeling overwhelmed by all of the options! I think we would prefer more intimate tours with nice tasting rooms to enjoy a drink after. I was originally thinking Graham’s and Real Companhia Velha but just noticed they are pretty far apart. We are happy to take an Uber or walk if it’s worth it but I was just wondering if there were any closer together that you would recommend instead.

Thank you so much,

Lauren

Thanks Shreya and so glad you enjoyed the article. Indeed, you can’t go to Porto without tasting Porto wines. Cheers

No worries, Sherianne. Just another reason to go back to Porto. Like you, we also enjoyed exploring the city. So much to see and do. Hope you get back to Portugal soon. Cheers.

That’s great to hear Claudia. Discovering the different Port Wines is truly an experience. As a Port lover, a trip to Porto should be on your list. Do let us know if you have any questions if you plan a trip soon. Thanks for stopping by.

You are right, the food tour in Porto will give you a well-rounded understanding of the history, culture, and food. Simply skip the alcoholic drinks. Thanks for stopping by.
