Great experience, the biggest cellar in vila nova gaia. The wine tasting experience can be paired with different food options.
It's about a 90 minute experience. They explain how port is made and the tour ends with a tasting. We chose the experience with chocolate. You get to taste three different types of port and they pair chocolate with each port that they serve.
We really enjoyed this tour, our guide was great, it was so interesting to learn more about the Port wine and just to be in the orgional cellars was an amazing feeling. The premium port tasting paired with chocolate tour well worth our experience, delicious!
The guide was a good presenter. Knowledgeable and communicated in a nice manner. It was amazing to hear of the volume of wine and length of time of Cockburn’s. The tastings of port were amazing.
Really good tour and excellent guide. A good insight into learning how port is produced and distributed mainly to the uk.
A stunning property with great heritage. Our guide had a great depth of knowledge; we left understanding a lot more about Port. The tastings were delicious, and our guide spent a lot of time individually walking through the products with each table. When we got into discussion of tasting nuances, he ran upstairs to get get special bottles not on the menu for us to experience. A great afternoon.
The tour was very interesting. The guide was also quite knowledgeable. And engaging. We were able to taste three different types of port. We really enjoyed it and bought one bottle.
Activity was as expected! The tour guide was knowledgeable and quite friendly throughout the entire tour and wine tasting portion of the excursion.
The short uphill walk to Cockburns is worth the climb. Informative history of region. Eduardo was a very informative guide, educating on Port varieties, and several best Port years and brands. Tasting was great. Seeing the cooperage & size of vats was interesting.
Short but worthwhile tour and tasting of port wines. The guide was informative and I learned a lot about ports that I did not know. We did the chocolate and premium port tasting and the chocolates were delicious and so was the port. Fun experience! Would recommend.
Great experience! A lot of interesting information, presented in an informal way. Wonderful cellar and facility
My tour to Cockburn’s was an absolute highlight of my trip to Porto. Our guide Violeta was knowledgeable, friendly, and clearly passionate about the history of the lodge and the port-making process and a great sense of humour. Walking through the cellars and learning about the ageing barrels was fascinating. The tasting at the end was excellent, with a great selection of ports explained. Everything was well organised from start to finish, and I would highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting Porto for a truly memorable afternoon.
Excellent experience although the coopers were on lunch.very knowledgeable guide. Port and bought nibbles paired amazingly.
really good experience. very informative about how port is made and the different type of ports. tasting at the end was great and really informal. Plenty of port!
Excellent tour at with very informative and fun guide , we were really surprised at how vast the cellars are , all ended with great port tasting afterwards,
The tour was great - learned so much about port wine, Porto, and the Douro Valley! Our guide was amazing, super friendly and knowledgeable. The ports were amazing too, and paired well with the chocolates. Would definitely do another tasting!
Visited for a special birthday, This was very informative, interesting and thoroughly enjoyable, veola was extremely knowledgeable but passionate about her role within Cockburns, a delight, a true asset! I am looking forward to sharing my experiences with my friends and family on my return home, and I am looking forward to a future visit again with my family.
Great guide, very informative and helpful! We did the classic tasting and each port was amazing. The cellar itself was amazing to see, including port from 1940 and vintages as old as 1861. Highly recommend!
Truly wonderful tour!! Violet was a fabulous tour guide. Best we have ever had on a tour! The cockburn fine white would have paired great with the walking tour as we gained all of this incredible and fun information. Thanks!!
Excellent tour with very knowledgeable guide on the history, ups, and downs of Cockburn’s port. The tasting was delightful!
A really interesting and great value outing. Gustav was informative with good sense of humour. The tasting at the end was a good conclusion to the tour.
I had such a wonderful experience at the port tasting in Porto. The session was really informative and I learned so much about the history and production of port. The wines themselves were absolutely delicious, each one with its own unique character. The staff were so warm and welcoming, which made the whole experience even more enjoyable. I would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Porto.
Great tour of the lodge. Our guide Violeta was very informative. We all enjoyed the tour and tasting.
Fascinating tour with an excellent guide. We loved the tasting at the end! Wioleta was very knowledgeable and friendly
The entire experience was exceptional—from the site and the guide to the tasting itself. Leticia was incredibly knowledgeable, attentive, and eager to answer all our questions. A truly memorable visit. Highly recommended!
We had a fantastic, enthusiastic and knowledgable tour guide and the tour sped past despite seeing an impressively large area of warehouses. The port tasting was fantastic, and the knowledge gained allowed me to appreciate further port in Porto more!
Kinda of a must do in Porto.
Enjoyed the tour, history, tasting
Well worth the effort - you do need to reserve a bit in advance
We had a wonderful experience! The tour was interesting and informative, and the tasting was fantastic!
Expertly guided tour of the cellars and barrel making, with a lovely sampling of Cockburns wonderful port.
Our guide, Christiana was very knowledgeable and it was an interesting tour with a small group.
The tour ended with a 3 flight tasting and we ordered some tapas. We weren’t rushed and there was no heavy sell.
All the staff were friendly and super helpful, highly recommend the Cockburn’s tour.
