Port Wine Cellar, Porto, Portugal

The most authentic Port Wine comes from the upper reaches of the Douro Valley in the northern provinces of Portugal, which was listed as a protected wine designated region in 1756, the oldest in the world! The refined wines are sent via Rabelo Boat to cellars in the lower Douro Valley for storage and bottled before being shipped around the world Yiguo d wine cellar is located on the other side of the bridge in the new city area, built on a slope There are already several on the shore, because they are close so they are more popular, the flow of people will be more I chose Taylor’s Port, a winery cellar with more than 300 years of history, located a little farther away, it takes 15-20mins to walk from the bridge Admission is €15 and includes a red and white wine tasting each Taylor’s is an audio guide, you will be given a voice machine when you enter, and you can start your visit at any time There is not much crowds and you can walk slowly on your own Many of the other wine cellars have tours explained by guides, so there is a split entry for a large group of people to visit The wine cellar occupies a larger area than I imagined Seeing different years of barrel wine, I feel the wine flavor is getting stronger 🤣 The biggest wooden barrel with its famous name has a selfie camera on its head Enter your own email in the computer next door, stand in the middle of the wooden barrel and count down a selfie, it will send you a picture After the visit, you can go to the restaurant for a wine tasting Port wine has a high alcohol content of 18-20%. I don't drink much, and my face is already red after a few sips. I usually think white wine is easier to drink, but this time I think red wine is better Then you can buy the wine they produce, I have bought 4 mini bottles of wine with their local chocolate Before leaving, go outside the restaurant. It's a very European-style garden Because there will be the peacock and the Portuguese symbol of the chicken going around I didn't expect him at all 🙀 #OverseasTravel #Portugal #porto #portugal
