What to expect

THE SCENIC WALK: The Wine Compass first leads you on a stroll through Vila Nova de Gaia’s historic Port Wine District. This isn't just a walk; it’s a storytelling experience with a native English speaking winemaker-guide. We'll stop at Miradouros (viewpoints) for postcard worthy views of the river & city, while unearthing 400 year old secrets of the English merchants and Portuguese families who shaped the Douro Valley.

THE BOUTIQUE CELLAR EXPERIENCE: Step inside an independent, family-owned lodge that most travelers miss. With the thick scent of aging wine & oak, you’ll go behind the scenes for a cellar tour, followed by a tasting of diverse Port styles. With the winemaking background of the guide, you'll learn how to "read" a wine, identify tasting notes, and, most importantly, discover your favorite Port style.

THE GRAND FINALE, ROOFTOP BAR: We conclude with access to an exclusive rooftop bar with the best views in the city. Included is Porto’s flagship cocktail, the "Porto Tónico", which is a refreshing, modern expression of Port wine. You’re free to linger here & enjoy the city from above. Learn more: winecompass.pt
