Gostei, mas é muito caro para uma experiência. Não superou as expectativas. Tem uma das mais lindas vistas para a cidade do Porto.

Ein Tipp brachte mit zu Taylor, Portwein Keller seit 1692 immer noch in Familienbesitz. Eine Führung in englischer Sprache war sehr unterhaltsam und lehrreich, Guide Marta brachte uns oft zum Lachen. So eine Führung kostet 5 €, und ist den ganzen Tag innerhalb der Öffnungszeiten ohne Anmeldung möglich. Von der Metro Station General Torres ist man in 15 min dort, wenn man durch den Bahnhof geht und dann immer links an der Bahn lang, später hinter der Yeatman Hotel Mauer rechts runter. Ich nahm den falschen Weg erst runter zum Douro und dann wieder hoch zu Taylor. Die angebotenen Portweine im Shop gehen von erschwinglich bis sehr teuer. Die Flasche lated bottled Vintage von 2010 kostete 14 €, dazu nahm ich noch die 4 Minaturen mit. Ein Besuch in Vila Nova de Gaia ist schon ein Muss, wenn man in Porto ist.

Excellent place to taste some Port. For Euro5 you get to taste 3 types of wine and get a 30 min short tour through the cellar. English tours every hour until 5pm. Great ambiance, classy interior all in wood, very classy service, good knowledge delivery on tour. An overall very pleasant experience.

Taylor’s restaurant has such an amazing view of Porto. If you are just stopping by for the wine tasting tour you could order a cheese plate like we did as an affordable way to sit down and enjoy the gorgeous view that the restaurant terrace offers. In terms of the wine tasting experience we visited 3 wineries during our stay at Porto and I can’t say that this was our favourite. The guide spoke like a robot and didn’t seem too excited to be there. However for 5 euros that includes the tour and 3 generous tastings which really is great deal. There is a comfortable small backyard area to relax and enjoy ur port wine. What I found extremely bizarre was discovering there were 2 peacocks in the backyard seating area that were just chilling and strutting around. I am assuming they didn’t escape from the local zoo and is an attraction for the visitors. Interesting touch! The uphill trek up here was also quite memorable as it was not an easy one. Be ready to work those calf muscles. I would give them 3 stars for the wine tour because I’ve been to more engaging tours in the area but 4 stars for an overall positive and memorable experience.

This was by far the best place to go tasting Port in Gaia. The tasting area was in a big room with lots of bartenders(or do you call them Port-tenders)? There is also a big outdoor area for walking around and enjoying port on a lawn. And around the corner there was seating for what appeared to be a restaurant that overlooked the Douro and Porto. The Port here was excellent. I started with the Chip Dry white and it was definitely a dry and crisp white port. And quite a deal at € 1 per glass. However, I then splurged quite a bit and had a 50-year old single harvest. That one cost € 21 per glass and was the best Port I tasted during my visit. It was so incredibly deep and rich. I savored every last sip of it.

Notre hôte portugais nous avait recommandé la cave taylor’s parmi les très nombreuses caves de Porto. Nous n’avons pas été déçus ! Tout d’abord, le lieu est superbe. Grand jardin, belle terrasse avec vue sur tout Porto… De quoi être dépaysé. Lorsque vous réservez pour la visite des caves, trois dégustations vous sont offertes. Vous pouvez consommer vos trois verres où bon vous semble. Attablé a l’intérieur, ou tranquillement installés dans les allées du jardin. Ensuite, notre guide, Angélique, parlait un français excellent et était complètement passionnée ! Elle nous a inondés de savoir sur le Porto, et de petites anecdotes sur l’entreprise et la fabrication du breuvage. Nous avons adoré notre visite du lieu. Par contre, attention à la montée ! Les caves se trouvent tout en haut de Porto, bien plus loin que les autres caves… Pour vous y rendre, il vous faudra gravir de nombreuses ruelles abruptes, mais ça vaut le coup !

Very upscale looking. Very professional. Good service. Nice décor. When walking in, you are greeted by the staff. Very kind and friendly. I took the tour and tasting. Good tour. A little stiff but still good. The tastings were also all good. They provided a dry white, ruby, and tawney. There is an outdoor garden to have your tastings. Great concept. There’s also a video you can watch if you want to learn more. Also in the building there are little displays to look at! Very informative.

I love their product and they were on my list of stops in Porto. The bar has a fantastic 40 year old port. There is also a crazy old port that you can taste the is a 100 euro a glass. It is said Winston Churchill had a pipette of it drawn from the barrel. The tour is cool and the tasting area inside(old library) and out(pretty garden) is very nice. The staff was accommodating and cheerful. A little crowded in the high season, but a must do stop when you visit.

Big name Port Winery. None of the grapes are grown here at Taylors like all the other Winerys in the local area. They only focus on mixing the wines in large or small wooden barrels based on type to get the final product. The tour is 5 euros with a small sample of 3 of their wines; blanco, tawny, tinto. There is wifi in the main lobby, the password can be found on their menu. There is a nice backyard where you can sit around and sip on your Ports. There was a Peacock with little chicks walking around the backyard as well. The baby peacocks were too cute.
