Overview

Tasting port wine is a must when visiting Porto, but heading out to restaurants or bars doesn't provide much in terms of insight. Gain a well-rounded understanding of port wine—from history to production—at Taylor's Port wine cellar. Since 1692, they've produced port wine the traditional way and are involved in every stage of the process from grape to glass. A small-group visit to their interactive museum, combined with a handy audio guide and a tasting, creates an immersive experience, perfect for wine lovers and newcomers alike.

Excellence Taylor’s

concepci_no457, Apr 2026

The visit to this great winery is a highly recommended experience. Very didactic the audio guide. Tasting in a beautiful courtyard and simple and precise explanations. Special mention to Jose Machado for his professionalism and kindness.

Welcoming to improve

Welcoming unfortunately did not live up to our expectations. Although we booked online, we received few explanations when the audio guide was handed over, which made the tour a bit impersonal. Too bad!

Great tasting session at Taylors

A great place to visit and a must while in Porto. We had a walk around the cellars and then got the chance to taste three ports. Highly recommended.

Waste of money - buy directly through winery and save more than 50%.

Bill_B, Sept 2025

Complete waste of money to guide with Viator. I paid over $125.00 for two tickets to Taylor’s Port Wine Cellar through Viator. The description said it was a “group experience” and I received a personal text about 2 1/2 weeks prior to the visit asking about my knowledge of wine and favorites “so we can make the experience better” and implying that they would customize the tastings to our preferences. However, when we arrived, all we got was an audio tour from a device with no instructions. There was no guide and the front desk couldn’t even scan our tickets so had to manually write the code on a piece of paper. As a result, we were left to just figure out the audioguide ourselves. Later, I found out that we could have bought the same audioguide self paced tour directly through Taylor’s for $25.00/ticket. Very, very disappointed. Highly NOT recommended. The winery itself is beautiful and the ports are great. Just don’t book through Viator.

Response from Host, Sept 2025

Dear Bill, Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry to hear that your visit to Taylor’s Port Wine Cellar did not fully meet your expectations. We would like to clarify that the Taylor’s Essentials option you booked is an audio-guided visit, while only the Private Guided Tour includes a live guide. Your booking was confirmed for 2:00 pm, and since arrival was at 3:00 pm (beyond the 15-minute tolerance), the ticket scanner could not validate your reservation, which is why the staff assisted you manually. Bookings via Viator include additional services such as secure international payment and customer support, which explains the price difference compared to direct winery tickets. Kind regards,
