Fantastic guide and great experience
Fabulous… everything was 1st class.. the host, location, venue, ports, nibbles… loved it. Would highly recommend.
Fantastic guide and knowledgeable of the wines and regions, friendly atmosphere and welcoming. Definitely a high recommendation.
Great experience and the ports were excellent. There was lots of chat between the groups which added to the tasting . Lots of fantastic information given which enhanced the experience . Fully recommended, you won't be disappointed
This was an excellent experience. I've never loved port. I have a totally new perspective. Very informative and tasty.
Caio was highly knowledgeable, engaging and passionate about the port wines and food pairings he curated. A delightful tasting and educational experience not just for novices but wine lovers as well! Highly recommended!
Very well done. On time. Great explanation of port wine.
Caio was a wonderful expert of different varieties of Port. He was an excellent teacher and provided an explanation sheet complete with maps and a cocktail recipe. The wine bar was delightful, though difficult to find.
A really enjoyable, interesting and informative tasting, in a lovely cosy setting, would highly recommend
Its a small bar slightly off the beaten track. I think they specialise in these tasting sessions. The Port tasting is good and we learned a bit about the different types of port. But the whole.process seems a little rushed.
Great tasting event. The host was informative and friendly, just the right combination of facts and chat. Lots of time to savour the flavours and the occasional top-up to compare one with another. Small salty and sweet nibbles were provided. It’s a small venue, a bit out of the way, so get there on time as it only lasts an hour and there will be another tasting starting the following hour.
This was a great way to learn about port. Not only did we taste 6 ports, we asked loads of questions and got answers.
Fantastic port tasting experience. Well paced and very informative session. We enjoyed all six ports. Highly recommended!
A well polished and well thought out presentation. Great set-up, and an interesting talk. Not a huge amount of details, but enough to enhance your knowledge from a low base. 6 interesting and contrasted Ports to try, distinct and distinguishable characters to trace from one to the next. Knowledgeable and clear commentary in good English. Snacks were generous and were good accompaniments to the drinks. Started bang on time. Lasted under 45mins.
Incredible! Not only the wines and the experience, the sommelier Caio was a great professional! In addition, it was my partner’s birthday and Caio gave us a gift. What a detail and what a wonderful person you are! Thanks a lot! We hope to come back soon :)
Excellent hour spent with a knowledgeable and friendly host. Would highly recommend and you will learn about Port wine, whilst you try.
Brilliant experience. Ciao is so knowledgeable and fun. What a lovely guy. We really enjoyed the port tasting. Generous measures and nice amount of savoury snacks. Would highly recommend
A really good session! 6 ports to tast with detailed explanations on the production of each one. Very enjoyable evening.
Great afternoon. Very informative and six ports to taste. Would recommend. Very knowledgeable guide, very welcoming.
Great explanation, the wine tasted phenomenal. The combination of the guide explaining and you just enjoying the port was perfect aswell. Overall a great experience and a great time.
We had a really great time here, we had some really good wines/ports and our server was really nice and enthousiastic about the wines he was showing us. (and he had a really good playlist :))
From arrival the experience at From The Vine was such a treat. We had a warm welcome by Caio who from beginning to end set the stage for a memorable experience. Caio was very knowledge about Port and provided facts in a manner that succinct and practical for us to know. The quality of the Ports that we tasted were simply delicious. We also enjoyed getting to know the other guests at the tasting. Caio helped create an environment that made all of the guest feel comfortable engaging with each other! We highly recommend this experience on your next travel to Lisbon!
Great introduction to the world of portwine! Excellent value for the money, small group in a nice little place. Knowledgable and friendly guide. Highly recommended!
More digging at the wine culture in Portugal. This time, fortified wines (ports) from the Douro Valley (PENSO DA RÉGUA).
This was a fantastic way to learn about and try numerous local ports. It was laid back and we really enjoyed our evening.
Great relax environment with immediate good vibe with the remaining experience participants. The wines were extremely well presented, and experience was not only fun but also educational.
Great experience! We were in Lisbon for a stag do and wanted to do a fun group activity. Nice venue and really good value for money. Rebecca was a fantastic host.
Great experience with Caio. Would recommend as an introduction to port, got to try 6 different ports and compare. Fun experience.
The Port Wine Tasting is a must-do experience in Lisbon for me. The tasting is well structured, I did not feel rushed at all, and snacks are provided during the breaks. All necessary and extra information is provided, making a very enjoyable experience.
First of all, the establishment was difficult to find as signage was obscured by trees and cars parked in front. Host seemed distracted and indifferent as if this tasting was an obligation. We pointed out that the other couple who appeared to be looking for the place may have been lost; he said "they'll figure it out" and then told them they'd have to catch up because they were late. Host took "breaks" between tastings and left, no interactions other than brief explanations about the products. The tasting was supposed to be an hour; we finished in 30 minutes. Stale corn nuts and some olives as snacks. All in all, this was a process, not the enjoyable learning experience we had hoped it would be.
Great port tasting. Host was very enthusiastic and know,edge le about the products. Had a chance to try five different ports and a Muscatel. We all enjoyed it , nice tasting before dinner!
The talk was very informative and the port delicious. Six big glasses of different port. Nice to chat to the other guests
Our “host” (if you can even call him that) was incredibly rude from the start. I tried being polite multiple times, but he was just mean and dismissive in return. It completely ruined the atmosphere. The port wine might have been fine, but it’s hard to enjoy anything when the person hosting makes you feel unwelcome. Would not recommend this place to anyone — there are plenty of better and friendlier tastings elsewhere.
So much fun! Such an informative sommelier and inviting atmosphere. Thank you so much for the wonderful hospitality!!
You know....I wouldn't go here again. It is our first visit to Portugal and thought a Port Wine tasting was in order. The spot, 'From the Vine, Wine Tasting Bar' is cute. We were one of two couples at the tasting. My main criticism would be that I didn't walk out from the event with a whole lot more knowledge about Port Wine that I went in with. The fellow orchestrating the tasting was very friendly and nice but the main thing he wasn't was...engaging. It almost felt like he was robotically repeating something he's had to do a million times. We were given six different ports and he would describe two of them, kind of, sort of, and then excuse himself while we finished them up and partook of the 'snacks' which were three items, four slices of cheese, dry bread toasts and corn nuts. The experience on 'Trip Advisor' was described as a journey. This wasn't a journey. It was a sprint. Would not recommend this experience. Good background music though.
What a wonderful experience! Loved the port flight and all the information we learned about different ports and the regions they come from. Definitely worth it
A good introduction to port with a chance to taste a range of different styles of port all from the same region. Educational and fun!
The man was not interested in selling any of the wine we tasted We felt rushed through the tasting. I would go with another company if I we to do another tasting
We had the most wonderful session with Caio talking us through the history and nuance of Port. He’s very knowledgeable and was keen to answer all our wine related questions. Caio took great care of us during the evening and selection of ports was spot on. I highly recommend this event during your stay in Lisbon!
From the moment we walked through the door, Caio welcomed us into the world of Portuguese wines with the graciousness and warmth that made us feel welcome and comfortable asking questions as we shared an evening of education and entertainment. We learned a great deal about Portuguese wine production and the uniqueness of port wines. We enjoyed them all and had a lovely evening. Thank you, Caio and From The Vine!
Amazing place, wonderful vibe, fantastic tasting, really attentive staff who described every single port to the smallest detail. If you’re passing through Lisbon it’s definitely worth an hour of your time. Definitely recommend 5*
Caio is the man! His extensive knowledge about the different types of port wine made it a very enjoyable experience. Not to mention the wine was delicious! Great quick tour to get a better understanding of Portuguese culture!
It was good, the only thing is I thought we were booking as part of a group event. Just so you know, whoever ur booking w that’s it.
This was such a fun, informative experience. The host was very knowledgeable and I learned so much. The space was very warm and intimate. It felt like hanging out with a friend; that happens to know a lot about wine and enjoying a sampling of port along with interesting facts and history of port wine specifically, but also Portuguese wine in general. 5⭐️
We had a great time tasting port wine and learning about the different kinds and the way to make it. But most of all it was fun!
Great explanations etc. Host was excellent
