If you are visiting Porto, don’t miss an opportunity to visit an antique wine cellar and sample the famous Port wine straight from the barrel. If you have time and an interest in viticulture, try to retreat away from the city to experience the entire wine-making process. Here are some of our favorite wineries and vineyards around Porto.

Ferreira

Address: Av. de Ramos Pinto 70, 4440-452 Porto, Portugal

The Ferreira name is among the most popular for Port wine and can be found all over Portugal and other countries as well. During a tour in the cellars, visitors can sample aged varieties and learn about the Douro region and the vineyard heiress who gave the Ferreira Port her name.

Croft Port
