Taylor's Port

Came here as a Rick Steve's recommendation and it was everything. We did not have time for a whole tour so we went to the sit down area (for a tasting), with an amazing view, and had the "Vintages Clássicos Taylor's" experience (€90). My favorite was the 1994 Vintage port and the 2007 vintage port. The 2009 is a bit more strong on the flavors, the 2003 was light but had still a kick, the 1985 was more subtle but still has a kick. I am more into the subtle without a kick flavors, hence why 1994 and 2007 are my faves. To eat, we had the cheese plate which comes with the most delicious Azeitão cheese (best cheese I've ever had!) with jam and crackers. There is an abundance of seating area but definitely go outside, all the way to the back for the most amazing views

Only experienced drinking their ports in their garden terrace area and purchased some signature port glasses in their wine store which is what is reflected in this review. The garden area is very tranquil and relaxing but does not have the views of Porto. A few chickens and Peacocks running around in the dining area adding a certain degree of character/uniqueness to the experience and makes for some fun photo opportunities.

Relative to the ports, Taylor is a premium Port producer where you can absolutely get great ports which will come at a premium price and lower classes of Port that are more value priced. On this visit it was a hot day and I opted for the fine white at 4 Euros which wad quite tasty. Relative to the port glasses I bought I have been collecting sets of these from the various wineries I have visited on this trip where to date these are definitely the best quality set I have purchased on this trip with their signature red emblem. Definitely pleased with this purchase.

Overall had a good experience here and next time will have to set aside some time to do the tour and get a better appreciation of what the Taylor winery has to offer.

Visiting one of the many wineries to try port wine is a must-try activity in Porto. My family and I did the tour which also comes with a complimentary tasting. The tour is a self-guided tour with a hand-held audio machine (like a phone). Here, I learned about the British influence on Portuguese wine history, information on the Duoro valley, and the vinho verde region that is special to Portugal. There is also a HUGE barrel of win in the storage room which was a sight to see.

For the tasting, they give you a variety of reds and whites to try. They are port wines so they are on the sweeter side, but the whites were a little drier and I found myself liking those. They have both inside seating and a little courtyard area to enjoy a nice afternoon trying different wines.

Such a fun spot we went to! We did the port wine tour here and it came with a tasting at the end of the tour. I learned so much about port wine during the tour so it was fun and worth it! We got to learn about the history, how port wine was made and the different types of ports. I was pregnant when I went so I was unable to taste the port wine at the end of our tour. However, my husband bought couple of bottles and I was able to try them after I gave birth. The port was so good! Every bottle that I had was amazing! We even went to the wine store back home to get more!

OK this is now my new favorite wine ever! I love the port from Taylor's! It's so good! When you come here, they have a tasting room where you can also have small bites, but there is also a tour of the winery which I highly recommend. I've never seen so many barrels of wine in my life. And these were huge barrels! Tour is very interesting. Service was just OK. At the ticket desk they were kind of rude, but then in a tasting room the waiters were excellent, so I guess it just depends on where you are at. Ambience is so cool, the tasting room is indoors and outdoors with very pretty outdoor garden! If you are in Puerto, this is a must stop!

I loved everything about this place. The staff was genuinely kind and helpful, the restaurant was fantastic with amazing views and the port tasting was so much fun and delicious. If you are in Porto, Taylor's is a must-do!

My favorite port from my local liquor store. Taylor's Port is on the shelf at most places and of course while in Porto, this was one of my must visit place. We hiked and finally made it to Taylor's Port. As we entered and walked through the place, they offer unguided tours and a drink at the end of the tour. We skipped it and decided to go straight to the tasting area to try some premium port, ones that you can't really find in the US or you would end up paying a hefty price. We decided to splurge and pair it with chocolate and amazingly to find that it was the perfect pair. The intensity of the chocolate paired with the port changed our palette with each sip. This was truly an experience, and the place is beautiful to just sit , relax , and admire the view.

Self guided audio tour was good but not as nice as the guided tours you get at other Port houses. The tasting afterwards was fine but a bit stingy.

I came to Taylor's Port to check out how the famous Port wine is made as well as to try some of the wine! After buying a 15 euro ticket, you are given a speaker-type thing and a map which allows you to have your own self-guided audio tour. This is great for people who prefer to take their own time during tours and it also allows you to listen to as much of the information as you'd like.

At the end of the tour, you go into the tasting room that also has a gift shop attached where you can buy their Port wine. They provide a small glass to taste the red and the white wine. They also have other wines and snacks to order as well. It was an interesting experience, especially if you'd like to learn about how the wine is made and see how they store it.

There is also a restaurant across from the wine tour side that is more upscale but don't be intimidated. The staff is super friendly and the food is delicious! The view from the restaurant is also beautiful since it's right next to the water.

What an exciting opportunity to visit one of the oldest and largest Port Wine houses that was founded 1692 in Vila Nova de Gaia, Portugal. This partnership group owns the brands of Fonseca, Fonseca-Guimaraens, Taylor, Krohn and Croft.

Thanks to our Tauck tour director, we had the opportunity to have a private tour, Port tasting and a catered dinner at Taylor location off the Douro River. The tour was educational and quite incredible to walk through the many barrels of port in their large storage warehouse.

The evening was just wonderful and the Port Wine was fabulous. What I found most interesting is how long they keep some of the wine in the barrels and the type of barrels they utilize. I was very fortunate to have this wonderful opportunity to experience an evening at Taylor Port Wines.
