During your **visit**, explore the winery and the old wine cellar, stroll through the vineyards, and learn about the legacy and craftsmanship behind some of Portugal’s most iconic wines. **Your experience includes a *guided tour and a wine tasting*** of family-produced Ports and Douro DOC wines, enjoyed on the terrace with sweeping views over the Douro River and surrounding vineyards.
