Porto Fonseca cellar tour with Fado show and two tastings, plus optional 3-course dinner at WOW Porto. Small group, 6pm start.
“The guided tour felt rather hurried which was a shame. However the meal and fabulous fado musicians more than compensated. I would thoroughly recommend this experience.”
Porto Cálem cellar tour, interactive museum, and live Fado with port tasting at a historic stop in Vila Nova de Gaia.
“I think I should have done a little more research into the tasting. I didn’t know it was such a huge group and such a rushed tour. We couldn’t see what was going on because of all of the people and she spoke really fast. We did learn a few things, though. One of the reasons we chose the tour was the word “caves”. We thought we going to get a more in depth tour through the port barrel caves. It was beautiful but you didn’t go very far. The Fado show was great and the ports were delicious. This was my personal opinion but may be perfect for others…”
Spiritus Porto at Clérigos Church: a 30-minute light-and-music projection by OCUBO with mobile tickets, great value for a rainy evening.
“Very relaxing, visual experience and a beautiful church. Definitely recommend.. Calming music.. and a good way to spend 30 minutes.”
Experience Fado in Porto’s São Bento da Vitória monastery with a guided tour, monk-made Singeverga liqueur, Port wine, and live music.
“The tour of the monastary was interesting and the very clever young lady who was our guide was excellent. The Fado show was awesome, the two guitarists, singer and guest singer were all mesmerising. Very intimate show and emotional to listen to and watch. Two lovely free drinks were a bonus! Highly recommend, thank you :)”
