We did a tour and tasting here and it was a great experience! The tour guide and staff are super knowledgeable and give a great overview of the history of port wine and the role of the Grahams company throughout. It's a historic vibe in the cellar with a beautiful tasting room and history area in the main hall. The tasting was great and we got to try a few different styles paired with some small bites which was very fun especially having the pastel de Nata as one of the courses. Thank you for a wonderful experience! read more

We did the tour and tasting for 45 euros. We enjoyed learning about the winery and how they make port wine. Our guide was very knowledgeable and pleasant. The tasting at the end included 3 port wines, along with cheese, chocolate and a pastel de nata - yum! There is also a bar and restaurant where we had a drink. Save your money for the tour/tasting or grab a drink (cheaper) down by the river. read more

Amazing wine! I did the wine tour and learned so much about port! From the different types of port to the aging process and grape harvesting! The tour guide was so kind and patient with the group. She took her time and explained each and every question we had. In the end we tried the wine and she explained all about it! Delicious wine and such a good tour! I did multiple other tours while in Porto and this by far was the best one. read more

This was probably our 10th Port wine tour since we have been in Porto and the Douro valley on this trip and is definitely my favorite one to date. First off, Graham is arguably one of the top/best Port producers which is a prime consideration to going on this tour. Although not the oldest Port wine producer it still has a long and illustrious history with a very interesting Family storyline to tell which this winery does a very good job of doing and adds a nice element to the tour experience. Relative to the tour itself, it starts in a large waiting area that has pictures and placards that give you a nice overview of their history which I found very interesting. From there you move into a small theater to watch a 10. minute film that is focused on the modern operation where the focus is vineyard, land and people related that gives you an appreciation of the Graham operation and how the workers who have long relationship with the company and are viewed as part of Grahams extended family. Once the film ends the tour moves into the barrel room which is flat out amazing. It is very large and impressive where I have not seen another Barrel room that really compares to this and was the highlight of this tour and to be honest with you the highlight of my vacation in Porto. While in the barrel room the tour goes over the types of Ports Grahams make, unique things they do in making their wines and more in depth discussion surrounding the land, grapes they use, the harvest and eventual bottling. fairly thorough and definitely informative and entertaining if you are into wine as I am and have a desire to learn about wine in general. lastly you end up in the tasting room sampling some of their wines where the selection we had in our flight did not disappoint Overall a very very good experience and one that should be at the very top of your list of things to see and do while in Porto. You will absolutely not be disappointed. read more

Well worth the trek! Located in Vila Nova de Gaia, we actually walked here after having a drink or two at Sandeman. Looking back, we maybe should have grabbed a taxi, but the walk wasn't too bad. This was our day to explore the famous wine houses in the area, and Graham's was our second stop. We ordered a few small snacks and a bottle, enjoying the atmosphere/ambience. This was probably my favorite stop in Vila Nova de Gaia. Though slightly out of the way, I'd definitely recommend stopping in here. The views are unrivaled. read more

Graham's winery tour in Porto is a must! It was a cold, rainy January day, so we thought "wine tasting- why not?" We looked up the wineries that offered tours and thought Graham's would be a good one. We did not book in advance, so as we made our way there we hoped that we would have a chance to get a tour. Because of the weather, there were some cancellations and we joined the English speaking tour, waiting only 20 minutes for it to begin. The tour was conducted by a young woman, who knew her wines! She gave a comprehensive, engaging tour that ended with tasting three wines paired with items such as chocolate, cheese, etc. She explained the combinations, and the nuances of each of the wine selections. The entire tour was interesting and the pace was excellent. We visited another well known winery after Graham's and found the self-guided tour boring and the wine tasting disappointing, but honestly, how could it be otherwise after the wonderful tour we experienced at Graham's? Rain or shine, I highly recommend Taking a Graham's wine tasting tour at the Graham's Port Wine Lodge, Travessa Barao Foster 86 Apto 26, 4431-901 Vila Nova de Gaia, Portugal. Then treat yourself to a gondola ride over the Duro River to the Dom Luis I Bridge. You can walk across the bridge to continue to take in the sites. We then took the funicular and continued to walk through the winding streets after that. A perfect day- even if it does rain. read more

Stopped in there today for a couple tasting and we were not disappointed! Actually Grahams port has been our favorite for years, to see the connection to family and friendship made it even more memorable, the tasting was off the charts, we ended up getting a 40 year Tawny which we will look forward too in the future to enjoy with friends. What a great location and perfect views read more

A great experience not to be missed. The cultivation and production of port is considerably different from that of other wines. So if you've been on a winery tour and say "been there, done that", don't do that. You'll miss out on a very pleasant experience and an opportunity to taste some very fine ports. My tour guide was very good. Lunch at the Vinum restaurant was absolutely great. One tip: Uber there. I would imagine that walking there from central Porto is near impossible. Easy to get there, but be very specific about the pickup point on your return. Enjoy! read more

The tour of the port cellars was amazing and the tasting afterwards was excellent as well. If you want to have a meal at Vinum, make sure to make a reservation in advance. read more

The port wine tasting here was one of the highlights of my trip to Porto. The tour wasn't that spectacular, but I loved all the different options they had for tastings at the end. My friend and I did one of the mid-range tastings, and we loved how they whisked us away into a special library and spent time describing everything to us. Overall, it was a fun and educational experience. The main downside is that it's quite difficult to reach on foot. read more

This is a beautiful port winery, a bit further away from the other port producer facilities and a bit further to walk but totally worth it. Once you reach Graham's, they have a beautiful restaurant, terrace bar and shop, I recommend having a drink on the terrace and enjoying the view before your tour. You do need to reserve a tour in advance, a tour with classic tasting of 3 port varieties is 17 euro. The guide was very informative and explained the history of Grahams's and the port production process. The tasting room was also beautiful and they offer cheese or chocolate which you can purchase to go with your tasting and any additional port you wish to try. read more

Like many others, I've never been a huge fan of port wine. but when in Port... This winery came highly recommended not only by our hotel, but also most of the local tourist literature. And I have to say, it didn't disappoint. The various tastings are pricey by any measure, but the value was there. For instance, we learned all about the history of the winery. We were schooled on the different types of port. We got the grand tour of the facilities. And most importantly we got to drink A LOT of port. Also the tour wasn't overly long- a plus for me since we had enough time to visit another winery down the street. All-in-all, a good experience. read more

One of the absolute best Port Producer out there in my humble opinion! It was amazing to see the property, walk through the vineyards, eat oranges from the trees, and stay at their amazing guest house right off Douro River! I mean you can throw a stone and land it in the river. Views of Douro are mind bending! Region is bloody enormous. Once there only then you get the actual scope of how vast that region is. Graham's is a phenomenal Port Producer that has been making Port for a bloody long time. Say 1820 !!! Absolutely World Class Ports! From Vintage to Tawny (My favourite!) and everything in between! If you love Ports and get the opportunity to go to Portugal, put them on the list. You'll enjoy it! And if you get to visit the Port House, do it! Train ride to Douro from Porto is worth the 2+ hrs ride! Trust me! You'll get to see the country side! read more

Walking up the huge hill to this place... should have taken a bus!! Was it worth it? Maybe... the port itself is good and learned a little history. Opted not to do the tour, so taken through quickly to the tasting area. They give you the port and a quick description and disappear. The tasting area was nice but felt a little sterile. Not sure what it was... After the tasting find your way into the gift shop... which is right next to the restaurant. Then make your way back down the hill.... on your way down you'll reach Churchill's... which also has an affiliation with the Graham family-- very interesting-- I'll leave you to figure that out on your own ;) read more

My favorite Porto in Portugal! Make sure you go early and reserve your seats. My friends and I were so desperate for a spot that we took a spot in the French tasting. The older port's are my go-to's since it tastes like whiskey as it ages. Prefer W&J Graham in comparison to Sandemans. read more

Do not go to this port winery first! Why? Because it will ruin all other port wineries for you. This was the consensus favorite amongst my group. It's out of the way and worth the trek up the hill and out of the way of almost everything in Oporto. The entire family had a great time, premium chocolates kept the kids entertained and happy. If you want to tour the property make sure to make a reservation, the secret is out and this place is very popular. read more

We had a nice visit to Graham's. The cheapest option for a tour, that comes with a tasting at the end, is 10 euros. You can pay more and do more than just the traditional tasting. The price seems a bit steep, but the classic tasting is pretty legit (you get 3 generous glasses of port). It might have been better to have only paid 5 euros and to have had more of a tasting than fuller glasses of port, but that isn't an option and overall I enjoyed myself. I agree with other reviews about the tone of the tour. It was definitely a bit self-serving, but what do you expect. Our tour guide did a fine job and the place is well-maintained. The tour is offered in multiple languages. Although we were able to walk in and take a tour with 15 minutes, I'd recommend calling ahead especially during busier times of the year. Overall, I'd do it again. My favorite of the tasting was the Six Grapes. read more

Not a huge port fan but this was a really fun experience. The winery is one of the prettiest I've seen and there are some lovely views of the city. Really nice tour as well. Tours can get pricey (paid more here than in Napa and Tuscany); if possible potentially see if you can split a tasting (unless you enjoy getting tipsy off port midday). read more

Five stars for the tour...access to their cellars and a very informative tour...very interesting and a first class facility with an incredible view. For me I have no taste for or interest in port...we did enjoy being told what the kinds of port are and the 15€ is like being in Napa or Sonoma...tour guide had three different groups to deal with (located in three different rooms including one couple in the private tasting room who appeared to be quite knowledgeable) but then he rushed off "to lunch" without snapping our pix. No stars for the self important restaurant manager who shunted us to the snack bar and never offered us a place...it was quite lovely but 30% full...and he ignored us! read more

A nice experience for the people that want to know more about Port. Having their cellar on the top of the hill wasn't a bad thing as most tourists prefered to stop at the first port houses in the harbour. Of course, it remains a very commercial visit explaing how great Graham is. What I missed is that the tasting was more about drinking tham tasting. I would have love to have way less in my glasses but more different ports to taste while receiving more explanation. Oh, by the way, the place is really wonderful! read more

Tour guide was informative. Got the premium tasting! Was hoping for more amount of wine. The tasting introduced me to and made me fall in love with Porto wine! This place was recommended to me and I'm glad I chose this winery among the others! read more

Great tour. Very informative, and good prices for the tasting flights. Our tour guide told a few jokes throughout that complemented his explanation of the port-making process. Interesting that this is one of the big brands that seemed to have a lot more to do with the UK, but clearly they were proud of their ties to the area and their use of local grapes, local workers, etc. Would have wanted to know more about the process and see how things are done at the same time rather than just hearing the stories of how many special vintages they had, but still cool. Hearing about what makes port wine special, and what it needs to be granted the GI seal of approval was interesting and made the tasting part more special. The premium tasting includes more interesting ports, and a vintage that costs a pretty penny to buy. Minus one star for not being able to ship Porto transatlantically, considering it was also kind of hard to find Graham's anywhere else (i.e., the airport), but a minor thing in context. read more
