    Amazing location, views and beautifully designed building and terraces…what a shame about the service! The terrace is split between dining and relaxed seating and almost segregates guests. We wanted to wait for dining but cannot snack or eat on the terrace (except for a couple of bites available). No table service, you wait at the bar for your drinks that you pay for before taking your own drinks back to the seating. No update on the table so after 2 hours of waiting we left. A real shame as the setting is amazing and well thought out! It could be so great!

    We visited Porto for a couple days and Graham's was our favorite Port Lodge that we visited of the many that we tried. We visited from the USA and wanted to try lots of the bigger port houses that distributed in the USA so we could buy some when we got home and didn't want to worry about shipping or traveling back with bottles in our suitcase. Graham's is one of the most historic port lodges and everything about the tour & tasting was top notch. I went in thinking I liked the older Tawny's but after leaving gained a much greater appreciation for the classic Ruby's after learning about them and tasting them. We bought some of the 2017 vintage bottles at home and plan to cellar them for a very long time. When we finally enjoy them in the future we'll look back fondly on our visit to Graham's Port Lodge.

    This is probably the best high-end, luxury Port wine tasting that we’ve done. You have to make reservations for the tour, with a great Port wine tasing at the end. Graham’s is probably our favorite Port wine, although we’re always discovering! Sometimes we’re in the mood for simple, cheaper Port wines. But when we want something really outstanding, we usually go with Graham’s.

    Graham's is a top Port wine lodge in Porto. The tasting experience starts off with a video presentation that takes you through the history of the company and how it came to be one of the most iconic Port wine brands today. You are then guided on a tour of the active cellars, right in amongst all the barrels and vats of port wine. It's dark, musty and a delightful experience. The tour guide gives more information about the wines and answers any questions along the way. To end off the experience you are taken to the tasting room where you can sample all of the port wines you learned about. Each from different ages and prices. Add to this some cheeses and tapas and you have a very enjoyable experience that not only teaches you all about the port wine industry but allows you to sample all the wines before you buy. The terrace is a love spot to enjoy a light meal and more wine (as you now which one you prefer and can confidently order more), and features a sweeping view of the beautiful douro river and city of Porto.

    Graham’s wine tasting was a very pleasant experience! Our guide was very knowledgeable and excited about wine. He was able to answer all our questions in a funny and informative way. The tasting itself was nice, we went for the vintage room which had much nicer vibe than the main tasting room and the wine was tasty! We went to Graham’s in September, but I felt like I wanted to write a review as we really enjoyed our time in there.

    (Translated by Google) From the best if not the best cellars I have ever visited, from the history of how the company was born, to the making of wine from the last century to the present, even the artisanal way wine was transported in rabid boats sometimes under weather conditions. adverse losing a part of the barrels on the way to the cellars in Vila Nova de Gaia. I highly recommend it. (Original) Das melhores caves senão a melhor que visitei, desde a história como nasceu a empresa, até à feitura do vinho desde o século passado até aos dias de hoje, até mesmo a forma artesanal como o vinho era transportado em barcos rabelos por vezes sob condições climatéricas adversas perdendo-se parte das barricas durante o trajeto até às caves em Vila Nova de Gaia. Recomendo vivamente.

    Graham's has the most beautiful views to enjoy from their tasting room. The staff we encountered were not only friendly but also very knowledgeable. They always have a Vintage of the day available by glass for 10€ which is a great way to try a Vintage without committing to an entire bottle. There is a restaurant on the same property, Vinum, and it also has a cocktail patio to enjoy the breathtaking views. The walk up to Graham's is not as easy as some of the other port houses but it is worth it.

    Very nice port wine cellar, on the Gaia side of Porto. The location is on the mountain with a great view of Porto. Noble ambience and very nice garden. In addition, class wines and friendly service. Unfortunately, we had too little time, we would have liked to stay longer. If we visit Porto again, we will come back!

    Eine Besichtigung eines Portweinkellers ist Pflicht bei einem Porto Besuch. Die Graham's Lodge hat eine exponierte Lage, ist der am hoechsten gelegene Keller in Vilanova. Es gibt eine tolle Aussicht von der Restaurantterrasse. Die Fuehrung ist interessant, es wurde ion den letzten Jahren viel renoviert und umgebaut. Traditionelle Keller, danach ein Tasting mit 3 verschiedenen Portweinsorten und kleinen Tapas, und es fehlt natuerlich nicht der Shop des Unternehmens. Ob eine solche Fuehrung mit Verkaufsabsicht 25 Euro wert ist muss jeder fuer sich entscheiden.

    Had the tour booked as well as a tasting at the end. Your was great, the guide was quite passionate, which really helps make the tour that bit more special. The tasting itself was great. Thanks to our choice, we got to go to the “premium” tasting room. Lovely experience. Nothing like the 1972 single harvest tawny. We then spent some time outside, some cheese, more port and enjoying the view. Well worth a visit

    Context: I booked on the premium tour, port tasting plus lunch and wines. Overall, it’s four stars only because of the tour and the port tasting. It would probably be two stars if it was the lunch and service. Max the tour guide was great and very knowledgable. Detailed explanations of the grapes, production method, history and styles of wine. It felt like Max was expert. Very atmospheric cellars. A leisurely tour that did not feel as though we were on a production line. The port tasting at the end of the tour was good with three big servings of high-quality port in the directors room (or some similar room name). From that point, it went rapidly downhill.Having paid euros 110, I was expecting a decent welcome in the restaurant and maybe an explanation of the menu and/or the wines. None of that happened. The restaurant seemed in disarray, and I and other members of my group had to seek out staff in order to get seated and served. Guests were (having to ) walk all over the restaurant seeking service. Overall, the food quality was poor, although the salt cod croquettes were okay. Steak was nearly inedible because it was tough and full of gristle. Salt cod loin in a little broth was overcooked. Apple tart was somewhat dry and rather depressing dish. On the upside, the coffee I asked for was very strong, rather like rocket fuel. The non-port wine served was good in the sense that it was flexible to my taste. It was curious, however, that there seemed to be no sommelier to discuss the wine. Overall - I would say the tour is very good. I would advise very strongly against buying the lunch option on top of the premium tour. The views from the restaurant / bar terrace are a million dollars so I recommend just going out there and ordering an extra glass.

    (Translated by Google) It is located on the hillside of Gaia, so it may be a bit difficult to get there, but there are not many people thanks to it, and the views are wonderful. The explanation was fun and there were lots of things to see. And the port wine tasting was also a wonderful and wonderful time. Please make a reservation ~~ (Original) 가이아 지역 언덕에 위치하고 있어 오가기가 조금 어려울 수도 있지만, 덕분에 사람도 많지 않아 한적하고 뷰도 훌륭합니다. 설명도 재미있고 볼거리도 많아서 즐거운 시간이었습니다. 그리고 역시 포트 와인 시음은 너무나 알차고 훌륭한 시간이었습니다. 예약 꼭 하고 가세요~~

    (Translated by Google) Magnificent place. Sublime cellars, excellent Port (s)! The tasting room is also magnificent. Several tastings possible, grape juice ;-) for children 👍 I imagine that the other wineries also offer nice tours, but this one was really worth the climb to the heights of Porto by bike 😁! (Original) Lieu magnifique. Caves sublimes, Porto(s) excellents ! La salle de dégustation est magnifique également. Plusieurs dégustations possibles, jus de raisin ;-) pour les enfants 👍 J'imagine que les autres caves proposent également des visites sympathiques, mais celle-là valait vraiment la montée sur les hauteurs de Porto à vélo 😁 !

    The tour was absolutely amazing. I was the only visitor who booked the earliest tour and the amazing Anna gave me a 1:1 tour. Graham is still family owned and one can feel the strong sense of commitment to quality and legacy. Definitely one of the absolute highlights in Porto!

    A wonderful experience with spectacular views! I had a port from 1974! 🤯 Next level amazing! And the pineapple dessert that was recommended made with 20 year old Port was incredible. Definitely worth the trek for any wine and port lovers. 😍

  • 2/5 Dennis B. 11 months ago on Google
    Purchased two glasses of wine. One port and one tinto. Both pours reflected only a tasting quantity pour not a 7 euro per glass of wine purchased! This Port Winery establishment really feels like they are trying to squeeze every cent out of the tourist. The view was nice but in total the quality was below the competition located by the river. Not recommended to take the hike up for the product. 🤔🙁

    Visiting Graham’s Porto Lodge was an unforgettable experience. From the moment we entered, the ambiance radiated authenticity and tradition. Anna, our guide, was the heart and soul of our tour. Her warm and welcoming demeanor instantly put us at ease. What stood out the most was her vast knowledge of port wine and her readiness to answer any and every question thrown her way. The selection of Tawny and Vintage ports was top-notch. Each sip told a story, and Anna painted the picture beautifully, making the experience all the more immersive. Kudos to the team for maintaining such high standards, and special compliments to Anna for being an exemplary guide. Highly recommended!

    Die Lage des Portwein Herstellers ist fantastisch. Der Weg dorthin ist zu Fuß auf den Hügel oder besser mit dem Bus Linie 901/906 möglich. Der Eintritt beträgt 23 Euro mit Führung und Portwein Taste. Es genügt aber auch nur das Tasting zu buchen. Leider gibt es keine weißen Portweine.

    Very enjoyable tour of Grahams port cave including tastings. You’ll learn a lot about how they make port and where it’s cultivated. Impressive venue that includes very old bottles under lock and key. Worth the $ to see this place.

  • 5/5 Toby K. 4 years ago on Google
    Probably one of the most enjoyable things to do in the world, dip a glass of history under the vines that form the canopy to the terrace. The view of Porto on a sunny day is something and if it’s winter and you are the only ones braving the cold - bonus. And having Sophia serve you is an added pleasure

  • 5/5 Gavin R. 5 years ago on Google
    Wow what a fantastic place. Port has never been my thing but the history and size of the operation is one you cannot miss. Tasting afterwards was fun but the tour was a wealth of knowledge about port it's history and wine making itself.

    (Translated by Google) View is top! Food is very expensive if you are used to postage, but this is also evident from the atmosphere. The food (sea bass) is only that no potatoes or other vegetables. For a main course you pay about € 30 which is expensive for the service and the amount. The bill was wrong with us - they had taken on too much liquor and the sea bass was very salty. For the price you paid, we expected more overall. (Original) Uitzicht is top! Eten is erg duur als je porto gewend bent maar dit blijkt ook wel uit de sfeer die er hangt. Het eten (zee baars) is alleen dat verder geen aardappels of andere groenten. Voor een hoofdgerecht betaal je ongeveer €30 wat duur is voor de service en de hoeveelheid. De rekening klopte bij ons niet - ze hadden teveel drank aangeslagen en de zeebaars was heel erg zout. Voor de prijs die je betaald hadden we overall meer verwacht.

    We arrived to Graham's cellar at the end of our stay in Portugal and it was the closing of the trip. I cannot imagine any better evening than it was at Graham's. The tour across the cellar was fulfilled with amazing history told by the very nice guide and the smell that followed us... All those great moments was ended by tasting of Graham's port - we took two 22 EUR sets of wines - the first one was more fruity and easy to drink, the second consisted of LBV, 10- and 20-year old tawny - I have never drunk anything like this before! great experience to taste both of the sets, just to have broaden view on Graham's goods. You have to go there once you visit Porto!

    Superb guided visit so thanks so much Juan and the team. So proud as a fellow Scotsman to learn about the long history of the winery, its cellars and vineyard estates. Marvelous experience touring the cellars and tasting their ports. Incredible views of Porto from their terrace. Covid-19 compliant everything super clean and tidy. I'm so envious of the business!

    When in Porto, why not take a tour of a Port Distillery. Lots of history and information showing you the aging process. They even have their own private collection in the cellar that has bottles that are almost 100yrs old. The VIP tasting room is great, lots of unique memorabilia. We had dinner at their restaurant, overall the food was good, however the service could be improved. We had to wait over 45mins for our main course. But definitely the tour is the main event.

    (Translated by Google) Very nice wine cellar, very informative long tour and very good tasting. We had two different tastings and tested 6 different ports. A pleasure for port wine lovers. Yes, the way up is a bit difficult and the narrow road is also adventurous. (Original) Sehr schöner Weinkeller, sehr informative lange Führung und sehr gutes Tasting. Wir hatten zu 2. unterschiedliche Tastings genommen und so 6 verschiedenen Ports getestet. Für Portwein Liebhaber ein Genuss. Ja der Weg nach oben ist etwas beschwerlichen und die schmale Straße auch abenteuerlich.

    (Translated by Google) We preferred this port winery to Sandeman’s and have not regretted it. Somewhat arduous ascent, if you come on foot, but it is definitely worth it. 1. Because of the TOP guided tour, 2. Because of the excellent tasting. We chose two different packages and were able to sample the most varied of flavors. We also found two favorites including - amazingly - a white one! Port wine. Then bought in the adjoining shop and 3. finally had dinner on the terrace with the great view over the city. A wonderful visit. (Original) Diese Portweinkellerei haben wir Sandeman´s vorgezogen und haben es nicht bereut. Etwas mühsamer Aufstieg, wenn man zu Fuß kommt, lohnt sich aber allemal. 1. Wegen der TOP - Führung, 2. Wegen der ausgezeichneten Verkostung. Wir haben zwei verschiedene Packages gewählt und konnten so wunderbar die unterschiedlichsten Geschmacksrichtungen probieren. Wir haben auch zwei Favoriten gefunden, darunter - erstaunlich - einen weißen! Portwein. Im angrenzenden Shop dann auch gleich eingekauft und 3. zum Schluss auf der Terrasse mit dem super Ausblick über die Stadt zu Abend gegessen. Ein wunderbarer Besuch.

    (Translated by Google) Very good visit! Explanations at the top, tasting that is worth the detour! The price is more than fair and as a bonus the view from the terrace is definitely worth it. In short: it's really worth the steep climb to get there :) (Original) Très bonne visite ! Explications au top, dégustation qui vaut le détour ! Le prix est plus qu’honnête et en prime la vue depuis la terrasse vaut vraiment le coup. En somme: ca vaut vraiment la montée assez raide pour y arriver :)

    (Translated by Google) Very good visit, the guide was very good and answered all our questions with precision. Thanks to the health crisis, we had the right to a private lesson, it was very pleasant. The tasting is worth the cost and makes the cost of the visit more than justified. I can only recommend (Original) Très bonne visite, le guide était très bien et à répondu à toutes nos questions avec précision. Grâce à la crise sanitaire, nous avons eu le droit à un cours particulier, c'était très agréable. La dégustation vaut le coût et rend le coût de la visite plus que justifié.

    We had a guided tour the guide was very attentive and had a lot of knowledge about the vineyard and the warehouse. Recommend it and the taste of the wine.

    Awesome Port Lodge, I would highly recommend going. The staff are fantastic, very friendly and very enthusiastic. The tour is worth it, you get to learn a bit about Port and Porto, but the Port tasting was extraordinary. We went for the vintage and super premium tasting in their vintage room (absolutely beautiful room), and we were taken aback by how good and versatile port can be. Graham's is a little out of the way in comparison to the other port lodges but it is definitely worth the walk. The walk there is stunning as you get to see a side of Porto that you don't usually get to see. Would highly recommend!

    We had a wonderful 45 min tour with the main room Port tastings. Our guide was friendly and knowledgeable, and we had a relaxing time enjoying our Ports on the terrace overlooking the river. Highly recommend!

    It’s very very amazing place. Where you can learn about one of the biggest Port wine. The tours was well done with good knowledge guide tour. The port that we try oh my gosh it’s amazing. All of them. We been trying many port wine here in Porto but this port from Graham. Oh my gosh it’s up standard. You should do it. Big recommend!!!

    Stopped by on a whim without a tour booked and without a reservation for the restaurant. Ended up looking around the gift shop then decided to try a few things in the room next door. Our server was really nice and had great suggestions. If you don’t have anything booked in advance you can still have a nice time here sampling a large selection of their offerings along with some great snacks.

    This is my favorite port lodge in all of Porto. The unforgettable sweet port smell, the grandeur, the history, the elegance. Graham's has the best port tour and the best testing in town. This is the one not to miss! I guarantee you'll enjoy it, as I have already multiple times. And go for the tasting that you think you'll love, splurge and try the best and you will definitely be taking a bottle or two of theirs home. I love this port! So delicious.

    Graham's Porto Lodge is a very beautiful experience. I arrived by walking all the river side until Graham, it's a nice uphill walk, tiring but nice. Of course if you have a car if much easier, but Porto is made for walking.:) The tasting room and the store are very elegant, the guide was very knowledged, and very enthusiastic. Here you have some photos about the tour, and we finish the tour with three delicious Porto Wine, a very good level, very aromatic in their three categories. My favorite was Tawny. You must go. They also have a restaurant with very beautiful views of Porto.

    Turned up without booking in advance and we’re fitted onto a tour with tastings at the end which we were fortunate and grateful for being accommodated onto at the last minute. Our tour guide Diego was very informative and answered all our questions covering the types of grapes, the work of the coopers and the sustainability of the oak in the supply chain through to the auction of vintage port as well as being our guide to the different ports and pairings. Merry Christmas!

    *American traveler* Grahams Lodge does not disappoint! Unlike other things in Portugal they are timely on their start times however, if you are running a little late do not fret as the first 15 min or so are a recorded video. While I would have wished to have seen the video I was more happy to have been able to Pedro, our guide, catch the actual tour. was incredibly knowledgeable and his tour was able to keep both the “wine people” and those who were the corporate not engaged . He was a great representation of the company and was able to script with personal anecdotes; it was really engaging. At the end of the tour you mix end up in the tasting room. During your checkin you pick whether you want to be in the main room, vintage room, and two other more exclusive rooms. We opted for the vintage room and enjoyed a tasting of the premium port and the premium tawny. I will recommend that you visit Grahams towards the end of your trip. Otherwise, you will spend the rest of your time comparing everything to Grahams which isn’t really fair. After the wine tasting, you walk through a gift shop where you can purchase a bottle to take home and finally a restaurant of sorts. When we took our tour the restaurant was closed but because the bar was open we were able to have a cheese platter while we enjoyed a glass of wine as we The view is unforgettable. watched the sunset. The only small bit of criticism is that there were some table settings which were not cleared prior to our arrival at the vintage room. Although i our guide at all as this room is shared t did cheapen by al the aesthetics just a bit it was not a reflection of the guides it seems. table but Additionally, there was a menu on the we never had an opportunity to order anything during our tasting. Aside from those two minor things it was the perfect experience. I cannot recommend this enough. I hope you are lucky enough to have Pedro as your guide. super

    Another top rating for the best port house in gaia .very modern inside but full of interesting memorabilia from graham's throughout there long and varied past .the staff on reception and polite and informed. But beware of the upselling as soon as you arrive they push you to change your booked tasting to a more expensive one but saying that we had 2x €45 booked in and decided after a long chat together to push the boat out and go simmingtons. €135 we shared it .plus a great cheeses board as well .the caves are full of port heavenly .the tour was packed with information from our guide a short film then off downstairs into the caves .we had 1hr walking around the the tasting .we'll superb we are so glad we changed our tastings and from the looks of the others in envy we were right. Im now a 20yr tawny convert and a colheita fan .ask you will see why 😀 .so all in all top marks from the tour guides to the staff in the shop .Kate and allen

    We did it this morning and we absolutely loved every bit of it. This is one of the oldest caves in Porto, the tasting room is beautiful and the wines are divine. The experience was enriched by the very detailed and funny explanations Maximilian provided. Very very nice guy. Do not miss this place!

    The best activity in Porto Our guide Anna is amazing She is friendly and knowledgeable She answered all our questions during the tour and gave us excellent recommendations on the port wine to taste The tawny 20/30/40 years are amazing

  • 5/5 Jill D. 1 year ago on Google
    Graham's Port House is by far the best port house we have visited and their tour of the house and information is excellent, the best by far. We opted for the tour with three ports of our choosing, which we enjoyed at the end in a lovely light room, which included information about the Symington family. We decided to stay longer and enjoyed a bottle of their wine in the cellar wine bar, which looked out onto the terrace with stunning views over Porto and the river. Having visited other port houses on our other visits to Porto, we would highly recommend Graham's. The next time we visit we would like to have dinner there as this looked amazing with a selection of the ports to accompany their tasting menu. Thank you for a superb visit.

    What an experience!! A morning tour and tasting became lunch at Vinum. The walk there is all uphill and the signage can be confusing to get to the tasting reception, which is at the rear of the the venue. However once inside, I was spoilt with the history and passion behind Graham's which I was unaware of. We were blessed to have Monica as our guide who is a fountain of knowledge, but second to her passion, love and enthusiasm for Port that she's happy to pass on to anyone that will listen. She did our tour in immaculate English and she's an asset to Graham's and their establishment. This is worth the time that you can spend here and there was not a single bad port out of the 7 tasted. The history, passion and attention to details and perfection is passed along from the brand, put into bottles and inherent in their staff. Service was good at the tour, tasting and restaurant. Regarding pricing seen in a previous review, I took photo's of prices of the bottles I wanted at other stores I went past in Porto prior to this tasting, and found the pricing cheaper per bottle at the on site shop. If you're passionate about heritage, life and Port, then please visit and hope that you get Monica as your guide!
