Port is aged in Gaia rather than in Porto, in cool lodges close to the river. Each house runs its own tour, usually around an hour: you walk through the barrel halls, hear how ruby, tawny and white port differ, and finish with a tasting. Houses differ in hours, prices and tour languages, so check the one you choose. The Gaia quay is also where you get the view back across the water to Ribeira.
What to look for
- The barrel halls where the port ages
- The tasting at the end of the tour
- The view of Ribeira from the Gaia quay
- The difference between ruby, tawny and white port
