Taylor’s Is a great port house to visit with a really lovely outdoor seating area.
Self guided tour worked well for us, informative and relaxed wandering around at leisure. We enjoyed the tasting and got a cheese board to match which was really tasty! Great value trip

Really enjoyed the tour, liked the fact it was self guided, nobody rushing you
Very well laid out, and signposted
Port tasting very good, waiter was knowledgeable, no hard sell
Liked the traditional approach
Preston_I, Jul 2026
Self guided tour using an audio recording on your phone. A lot of history about the brand and how they make the wine. The you can taste 3 different wines at the end of the tour. Since it’s self guided, you can go as quickly or slowly as you want. Overall, it was a pretty good experience.

Very good tour apart from the downloaded app guide crashing intermittently. Beautiful gardens where we had the tasting and really friendly and informative staff
Shahin_J, Jul 2026
We had a fantastic time and really enjoyed the experience. Even the weather was perfect! We didn't know anything about port and it was all clearly explained and very interesting.
However, Taylor's were very busy and we were asked to listen to the audio tour on our phones, we weren't offered the alternative of a handset
( which I saw several of at the exit). My phone battery ran down very quickly so I had to abandon listening to the audio guide.

Wonderful educational experience - terrific self guided tour! I learned a ton about the family and the port making process!
Taylor_J, Jun 2026
It was lovely! We didn’t know it was an audio self guided tour, but we still really enjoyed the experienced and learned a lot. The tasting in the garden was the bet part. Great service and excellent port wine!
Paula_H, Jun 2026
The experience at Taylor’s was exceptional. The walk around the distillery was very interesting and informative. The port tasting session at the end of the tour was set in beautiful gardens and was a wonderful experience from start to finish. Would highly recommend.

Lovely tour and tasting experience in beautiful surroundings, bit of a hike to get there but very relaxed rewarding experience.
Kate_B, Jun 2026
Very informative but an exhausting hike to the lodge.Port tasting in beautiful shaded garden but could have included some nibbles or cheese.
Elizabeth_H, Jun 2026
We had a lovely experience, and would definitely recommend this to others. The self-paced tour took about an hour, and we spend another 30 minutes tasing the port in the lovely courtyard. The person who guided us through the tasting was very knowledgeable and answered all our questions.
Thomas_L, Jun 2026
Really interesting little self guided tour then a lovely port tasting after. Lovely venue and friendly staff. Would recommend to anyone looking for a port based experience.
Christopher_V, Jun 2026
We were not introduced to the experience politely and it took forever for the servers to finally come to us. It was very frustrating to not really understand the tour.
Jeff_H, Jun 2026
A very fun and enlightened tour of port wine and it's production. Somewhat interactive and of course the tasting patio and shop.
Chris_C, Jun 2026
Great trip around the winery with a good mobile phone audio guide. It took 2 hours but very well worthwhile. Tasting at the end was lovely too in great surroundings

We enjoyed our tour. Very informative. Was nice to go at your own pace.
Bring earphones as you have audio on your phone.
Kim_P, May 2026
It is video guided… must have charged phone and be technically proficient… staff not helpful. There is a video room in the process that really summarizes the high points. Lots of pics and memorabilia that tells the story of this lovely place. Tasting and patio lovely.

A self guided tour via guide on mobile. It was a little impersonal ….no human interaction until you reach tasting and that also was just poured and given! Slightly disappointed by lack of personal interaction.

Other than wine tasting tour was by audio file which did not work. Poor quality for the cost and not worthy of Taylors.

Self guided tour of the historic winery was detailed and informative. The main store for the barrels of aging port is very impressive and full of character. Tastings take place inside or outside in a lovely garden with partial view over the river. Only let down by rather slow service, but our waiter was polite and informed when he got to us. Overall a great visit to a famous winery.
Response from Host, May 2026
Thank you very much for sharing your feedback with us, Stephen. We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed the self-guided tour and found it detailed and informative, and that you appreciated the impressive atmosphere of the barrel cellars and the character of the winery.
We are also pleased that you enjoyed the tasting experience in both the cellar and the garden overlooking the river.
Your comment is appreciated and will be shared with our team, as we continuously work to ensure a smoother experience for all our guests. We are glad, however, that your waiter was polite and helpful once you were attended to.
We hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you again in the future for an even better experience.

good self guided tour, but the app malfunctioned many times on a persons phone, so it made the self-guided portion to the point we just turned it off. The highlight was the lovely garden at the end. They poured samples of 3 ports. Complete with a personnel. well educated person to explain each one. This made the very steep walk up the hill from the river worth while. So be ready for a very strenuous hike to get there. Or hire a cab.
Response from Host, May 2026
Thank you very much for sharing your feedback with us. We are pleased to hear that you enjoyed the self-guided tour overall and that the garden at the end of the visit was a highlight for you, along with the tasting of the three Ports and the explanations provided by our team.

We also appreciate your helpful note regarding the access to the Cellars, which may be useful for future visitors planning their journey.

It is a beautiful facility and the tour info is very good-I would recommend to have a headphone or earbud with you-easier than holding the phone up to your ear so not to interrupt others’ Audio tour. The garden for the tasting is stunning and so peaceful! Don’t miss!
Response from Host, Apr 2026

It just doesn’t work. Audio guide. Totally frustrating. Get a tour with a real guide.
Shop is good. Tasting is good. Tour is a sham.
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Thank you for sharing your feedback, Roy.
The audio guide is designed to give our guests more autonomy and flexibility during their visit.
We’re glad to hear you enjoyed the shop and the tasting, and we hope that despite the challenges with the tour, you were able to take away some positive moments. Your comments will help us improve the experience for future guests.
