Taylor Estate Masterclasses Journey Through Douro In Porto

We had the best experience at Taylor’s! Our server, Mari, was so kind and did an incredible job sharing her knowledge of the port wines.

It was lovely winr port! The tour was really informative and somolier Antonio was very friendly. We had great time for tasting famous taylor's wine!

This is the historic Taylor’s Port. There is also a Korean audio guide available, offering a detailed explanation of Port wine, which was very helpful. The final tasting experience was truly delightful and made us very happy. I chose the €65 option and had the VVO P, and its depth of flavor was absolutely outstanding. Even as someone who doesn’t know much about wine, I could clearly feel its rich aromas and complexity. Mr. Filipe Gomes, who took care of our table, was incredibly cheerful and kind. Thank you so much for the detailed and thoughtful explanations! Thanks to this experience, I would love to visit again in the future. 유서깊은 테일러스 포트입니다. 포트 와인에 대한 자세한 설명이 한국어 오디오 가이드로도 준비되어 있습니다. 미지막 시음 체험은 정말 행복했습니다! 저는 65유로 옵션을 추가해 VVOP를 마셨는데, 정말 풍미가 대단합니다. 와인을 잘 알지 못하는 제가 먹어도 엄청난 향을 느낄수 있었습니다. 우리 테이블을 담당해주신 Mr.Filipe Gomes는 정말 유쾌하셨고 친절했습니다. 자세한 설멍 너무 고마웠어요! 덕분에 다시 또 가보고 싶습니다.

Antonio was a lovely host. He was knowledgeable and fun. We were a group of 6 including two kids and he had a lot of fun with us. Loved the experience, the port and the pastel de nata.

Antonio, the best sommelier! The best presentation we ever had in Taylor’s port cellar! Taste the VVOP Taylor’s wine!!

Great informative tour, and lovely wine testing experience. Antonio explained all the porto wines in details, and suggested exceptional pairing food. Highly recommended.

Very interesting experience. Audio Guide is available in many languages. The tasting at the end of the tour is in a charming location. We had a lovely chat while our tasting with Flavia. She tould us a lot about the history and process of Portwine. Can recommend!

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our master class with Susanna. It was so informative, personal, and fun. Highly recommend!

Mari was very knowledgeable and helpful, she also took an amazing photo . We found out lots of things about how Porto was made on the tour and we found it very interesting how to mush the grapes you step on it!

We had a great port tasting experience. Paulo Ramos was very attentive in explaining and recommending different types of port. We had the Introduction to Taylor's.

Excelente service from Mari and Felipe, They both took the time to let us practice our Portuguese as well as translate to English. The tasting was delicious. They were patient and gave us their expertese with our appetizer and port pairing. They were very professional, and recommend this tasting

Loved the Taylor port tour and tasting experience. David (who presented the tasting) was excellent and explained the ports perfectly. He also suggested a delicious port and Tonic, which was lovely and refreshing on a hot day. Obrigada!

The view and the tour were fantastic. Mari, the lady who served us at the wine tasting, was very polite and very knowledgeable about the wines!!

Taylo’s Garden is a gem and the port tasting in it is brilliant. They have a lot of variety in ports and especially the white is not as sweet as all the other port brands. Mario was our host and he is really a genuine authentic person and has a lot of knowledge. Do not hesitate and visit Taylor’s in Porto. We had a real good time.

We had a wonderful Port wine tasting experience at Taylor’s Port. The environment was beautiful and relaxing, perfectly complementing the richness of the wines. The selection of Ports was outstanding—well-balanced, flavorful, and reflective of Taylor’s long-standing tradition. Filipe Gomes, our host, was exceptionally friendly and approachable. He went out of his way to assist us, offering clear, detailed, and engaging explanations throughout the tasting. His warmth, professionalism, and genuine enthusiasm made our visit both memorable and truly worth every moment. A top-notch experience—highly recommended!

We had an amazing tasting hosted by Antonio Pocas. He was informative and friendly, explaining our Port and Taylors history. Cheers Toni....here's to the sheep

Some nice interesting stuff in the tour, though the audio guide dragged on in places. Was nice to see in amongst the casks. We went for a tasting afterwards and our server Mário was very helpful and made the tasting extra fun. He helped us with recommendations from the menu after our tasting that included in our tour tickets as well.

Lovely port wine tour and tasting. The garden where we had the tasting is beautiful and peaceful. Our waiter Mario made the experience extra enjoyable, and was very charming and welcoming. Highly recommend!

We had an extremely interesting tour of Taylor’s with the very knowledgeable Ana Valente. After the tour we tasted 3 ports and had an enjoyable time discussing our favourites over some delicious cheeses. The shop is also very nice with many port related souvenirs to purchase . We really recommend visiting if you are in Porto.

Daniela Oliveira was an excellent tour guide! She was so knowledgeable and enjoyable throughout our time there. We learned a lot about the history and making of Port Wine.

Antonio Pogas was so helpful and gave Great information during our Taylor tasting session. He was able to change our dinner reservation so we could enjoy our wine. Thank you 😊!

Fabulous views, delicious Port and passionate, attentive staff. Gorgeous location to sample the Port, amidst a rose garden with city views beyond. Made to feel really welcome by Jose Machado who gave us a wonderful explanation on each port we sampled. This is a must do experience when visiting Porto!

We had a very informative introduction to Port wines led by Jose Machado today. As first time visitors to Portugal and our first time sampling Port wines we greatly appreciated the overview and details on the wines followed by an excellent tasting of vintage Ports.

Very intresting, very informative, very well organised. Antonio told us all necessary information about each kind of wine, we tried and hosted us in a nice way!

Such a beautiful place to test the Port after the Port tour. José Machado was super friendly, and helped us with a choice to cheese to pair with the ports. All staff were super attentive. Thank you all!

Superb tour and experience. Absolutely stunning. The processes and volumes they produce are incredible. The tour is very informative and well presented. Antonio looked after us at the end of the tour.

We had an amazing experience in Taylor’s today. For a total newbies in wine tasting, Jose Machado has been an incredible sommelier serving us today! Stunning day for wine tasting indeed in Porto!

The tour was exceptional. Everyone, including our friends and Portuguese taxi drtiver from the airport, recommended that Taylor's is the best Port tour experience and we were not disappointed at all. It was interesting, informative and atmospheric. The garden for tasting is beautiful and relaxing. Jose Machado was a friendly, helpful and attentative waitor. He really added to our experience. Such a nice guy!

My husband and I along with another couple toured Taylor’s Port House today. Our guide Pedro Dias was amazing!! He was incredibly knowledgeable as well as professional and we could not recommend him highly enough. He made our visit extremely memorable. The assortment of Port wine that we tasted was excellent. Overall this was a fabulous experience at Taylor’s Port House in Porto!

We had a wine tasting experience with the wonderful Jose manado. He explains and offered us admazung porto wines and one of the most amazing cheese I ever had!! He was kind and welcoming. You should definitely go there if you are here for a short vacation

Great wine tasting experience, with otherworldly cheese. Our waiter Jose was super super professional and nice, explained about the wines and gave us great suggestions for our trip Highly recommended

The wine tasting was great, good wine, good service, and a good experience. Would come again if was in the area. Learned much about the history before tasting which was very entertaining.

Antonio did a great job. We enjoyed our experience. We had the Introduction to Taylor’s Port flight and paired it with some chocolate and almonds.

Brilliant tour, a lot of information about the company and history behind the processes of port. Also when we got to the tasting Antonio was a perfect host, very knowledgeable and passionate about the port and gave us as much information as he had, would definitely recommend

The tour of the port caves was interesting but the show stopper of the experience was the amazing terrace where you have the tasting! We sat on the small deck area and had a beautiful view of Porto while the sun was setting with amazing Port. Our waiter Antonio was so great, we loved hearing about the wines and what to pair them with, his recommendations of the cheese and almonds were perfect with the tasting glasses. Highly recommend!

I work at a winery in California where we have made and bottled some very old port-style wines, so coming to Porto has been something I’ve dreamed about for a while. And since Taylor is one of the iconic brands, of course we enduldged. After a fantastic lunch, we enjoyed some flights of vintage and tawny ports lead by one of their talented wine stewards, José. He was really knowledgeable and explained everything so eloquently. Also, the experience was a really nice relief from the busier parts of Porto and Gaia.

An enjoyable couple of hours. Highly informative audio guide, but perhaps a little too detailed for a relaxing experience. A high quality experience though, with well presented exhibits and culminating in a tasting of three ports. Very busy but they appeared to be coping with the high volume of visitors. Easy to find, especially if visiting World of Wine.

The tour was great, but the best part was the tasting with this gorgeous view of the valley on the terrace with actual peacocks around!!! Antonio Poças really took the experience to the next level, thank you Antonio!

The tour itself was good - If a bit lengthy. However the staff at reception were very unfriendly. Our son had a tummy bug - they wouldn’t even consider swapping the day of the tour, or let him stand in the entrance to look at the casks. Unfortunate as everyone is Porto is incredibly friendly.

We had an absolutely fantastic time during our visit! From the moment we arrived, Catarina warmly welcomed us and immediately recommended an incredible restaurant, as well as an exciting tour option. The tour itself was deeply insightful, packed with fascinating details that broadened our understanding. To top it all off, we indulged in a delightful tasting session that truly made the experience unforgettable! A huge thank you to Catarina for her amazing recommendations that elevated our visit!

We thoroughly enjoyed learning about the history of Port wines. It was interactive and informative. The tasting room was great and we had wonderful service from Josè Machado! Recommended!

We enjoyed our experience there, especially Jose Pedro, who was professional. Thank you for the lovely port tasting! Also, we liked the explanation of the different varieties of ports during our excursion.

Great experience with fantastic testing 3 different glasses of wine. Thanks to Antonio who served wine to us with great explanations. While we had testing wines there was a beautiful peahen near our table, it was wonderful.

It was great experience and Antonio was so kind. I really enjoyed this tour and the tasting was absolutely great. I hope to visit again.

We had a wonderful visit to Taylor’s Port, and the highlight of our experience was the exceptional service from Antonio. He was incredibly knowledgeable and took the time to explain the different Ports we were tasting, providing fascinating insights into their production and history. Antonio also gave us great recommendations on food pairings, which enhanced our appreciation of the wines even more. His passion and expertise made our visit truly memorable. The setting was beautiful, and the Ports were outstanding. Highly recommend a visit to Taylor’s for an authentic and enriching Port wine experience!

Our tasting experience was so good, we almost booked another flight ticket to come back to Porto. Our host José Machado was superb — we tasted 80 year old port that wasn’t on the menu. Thanks for making our tour so memorable!

Beautiful views. Informative tour—we really learned a lot about the history and wine making process. Great wine!! Highly recommend

Superb port wine tasting experience. Our sommelier, Pedro D., was superb — knowledgeable, patient, and attentive to our needs. My wife and I fully enjoyed our tasting and his company. Thank you.

Jose Machado did a phenomenal job. From describing the aromas and flavors of notes in the wine to providing options for great pairings of bread, meat, and cheese - he is well equipped to succeed!
