Walk up the steep hill to find one of two of Porto s most famous wine cellars.

For someone who doesn t know a lot about port, it was interesting to learn how it came to being one of the world s most popular wine varieties. It s a surprising story that I won t spoil for you.

It s not a guided tour, so expect to use a handheld audio guide which was a bit confusing to use we thought. I felt that the tour itself while informative at the beginning got a bit repetitive and was slightly too promotional of Taylor s.

At the end of the tour you have the opportunity to taste small glasses of two different ports.

There are a couple peacocks roaming the grounds - very surprising!
