[2025 Vila Nova de Gaia Attraction] Travel Guide for Taylor's Port (Updated Apr)

#EuropeanTravel #WineryTour 📍Rua do Choupelo 250, 4400-088 Vila Nova de Gaia, Portugal 🕐 11:00 - 19:00 💵 Audio Tour & Wine Tasting 15Eur If you are traveling to Porto, this is a must-do winery tour! Portugal is a country famous for fortified wine, and Porto has many wineries! In particular, the reason I chose Taylor Winery is that even if you take the tour, you can hear the tour content explained in Korean🫶 You can tour the spacious winery for 30-40 minutes, and at the end, you can finish the tour perfectly with a wine tasting! Make sure to take a winery tour❗️❗️❗️

[Porto Essential Winery Tour] What is Porto? Wine! Port wine in particular🍷 There must be no tourist who has not gone on a winery tour during their trip to Porto. Port wine is mostly made with red wine, but it is said that it is also made with white wine in rare cases, but I only saw red wineㅎㅎ Port wine is famous for being a very sweet wine, but contrary to its sweetness, its alcohol content is quite high at 18~20 degrees, so if you drink it little by little because it is sweet, you will be in big trouble...🤪😵 * Taylor Winery Tour - €15 - Includes Korean audio guide + two glasses of wine tasting - You can go on the same day without a reservation. Taylor/Calem/Sandman are the most popular wineries for tourists. I went to Taylor Winery, which has the most to see. There was a Korean audio guide, but since most of it was about the Taylor family, I was more focused on watching than listening to the audio guide 😉 What I especially remember is the unique smell coming from the wine barrels... I wanted to capture that smell and take it home with me 👃🏻 The Taylor Winery Tour is an indoor tour, so it was nice that you can enjoy it regardless of the weather, even on rainy or bad days.! It rained 3 out of the 4 days I traveled to Porto, so I was sad, but I had a fun time during the winery tour even when it rained 😃 #PortuTravel #PortugalTravel #EuropeTravel #Porto #Portugal #PortuRestaurants #Portwine #Winery #WineryTour #Wine #porto #portugal #portwine #winery #winerytour #wine #LifeTravelDestination #NewYearTravel #YearEndTravel #WinterTravel #RestaurantExploration #HappyNewYear #CityTravel

For a country like Portugal, wines are also known around the world, and there are many wineries on the banks of the Douro River in Porto. We did a little homework and chose a winery called Taylor's Winery. It took a lot of time to walk from the bustling city to the winery. Fortunately, we could stop and see the scenery all the way. The winery is on the hill, along the uphill path, you will find many 19th century manors. Tickets include visits, interpreters, and finally a tasting session.

On the hillside of Porto, Portugal, Taylor’s Winery is located beside the long river of history, full of historical witnesses from ancient times to the present. This visit is not only a wine tasting experience, but also a cultural exploration through time. The large oak barrels neatly arranged in the winery exude a rich aroma of wood and wine. The air is filled with the unique sweet aroma of aged port wine, making you feel as if witnessing the unique story of each bottle of wine. The guided tour is easy to understand, with explanations of everything from brewing techniques to storage details, allowing every visitor to have a deeper understanding of the winemaking process, demonstrating the winery's commitment to quality and history. The wine tasting session was particularly exciting. From the younger Ruby Port to the 10- and 20-year-old Tawny Port, each wine has its own unique flavor and personality. The aroma progresses from red fruits, caramel to nuts and leather. The taste is rich and full, with a long aftertaste, which is impressive. #Porto
