A visit that pleasantly surprised me. Our guide explained everything perfectly and answered the group's questions without any problem. The wine tasting was very good, and the wines were each better than the last. Now, these are treacherous wines, hahaha. You drink three glasses and you'll leave feeling very happy. If I had done the tour on the first day, I would have done one per day for sure. It was well worth it. I would definitely go back.

Cálem Cellars Guided Tour

We'll meet at the Cálem wine cellars, on the banks of the river Douro, at your selected time. Here we'll start a guided tour of the bodega to find out all about how the famous Porto wine is made. Guided by an expert wine-maker, we'll delve into the cellars and find out some of Cálem's most interesting stories, as well as what it is that makes these port wines so special.

We'll also visit the winery's interactive museum to find out more about its history. After visiting the winery, we'll finish the hour-long tour in the bodega's shop where you can buy souvenirs and gifts to truly remember your trip.

When booking, you can choose between 3 options:

Tasting of 2 wines: At the end of the visit, you'll enjoy a tasting of two wines in the cellars.

Tasting of 3 wines: In addition to visiting the winery, you'll taste three local Port wines.

Una actividad genial para introducirse en la gastronomía portuguesa, la bodega muy bonita nos gustó mucho. Cogimos el pack premium de 3 catas de vino de Oporto, visita que recomiendo porque además está en Gaia al otro lado del río Duero y luego puedes pasear por la zona. Translate this opinion into English.

A great activity to introduce yourself to Portuguese gastronomy. We really liked the beautiful winery. We took the premium three-tasting port wine package, a visit I recommend because it's also in Gaia, on the other side of the Douro River, and you can walk around the area afterwards.
