Having
visited
other
more
popular
cellars
such
as
Calem,
I
am
very
glad
we
opted
for
this
smaller
family
owned
business.
One
of
the
less
than
3%
Porto
cellars
that
are
100%
Portuguese
owned,
this
cellar
only
produces
around
40
thousand
bottles
a
year,
which
is
roughly
the
same
amount
the
bigger
cellars
produce
a
day.
The
tour
was
incredibly
less
crowded
than
the
others,
and
the
tour
guide’s
(thank
you
Sonia!)
explanations
were
crisp
clear,
very
good
English,
and
knew
all
the
responses
to
our
multiple
questions.
Furthermore,
price
wise
it
is
unbeatable.
You
pay
€5
per
person
for
the
booking,
and
then
€10
in
cash
upon
arrival
which
you
can
then
use
as
a
discount
per
product
you
use.
Important
note
here,
to
avoid
confusion,
if
there
is
2
of
you,
you
cannot
get
the
€20
discount
on
a
single
product.
The
discount
is
applied
only
once
per
product.
So
you
would
need
to
buy
at
least
2
products
to
get
the
€20.
Also,
additional
wine
tastings
do
not
count
as
a
product,
but
the
tasting
is
for
free
if
you
end
up
buying
the
bottle.
For
that
reason,
I
would
recommend
trying
one
of
the
more
vintage
or
premium
Porto’s.
We
tried
the
40
year
old
white
and
red.
Totally
worth
the
price,
if
you
don’t
want
to
splash
out
on
a
whole
bottle
of
that
level.
Overall
an
incredible
experience,
very
personal
one
as
well,
and
amazing
value.
I
would
recommend
it
to
family
and
friends
but
not
to
everyone
else
so
that
it
does
not
get
overcrowded
for
the
next
time
I
come
;)
