A really interesting tour and tasting - A great tour of the Cockburn's port lodge, then a delicious tasting afterwards. The guide was really interesting, and it was great to see the cooperage and walk around the lodge.

Best Port Cellar Experience - This was our second Port cellar tour and our favorite. Very authentic experience, with a great guide who shared the interesting story of the house and port. The cellars are incredible and seeing the family’s private collection was a nice personal touch. A trip highlight was seeing the only functioning cooperage left in Gaia and learning about this fascinating trade and how they take care of the barrels. We did a chocolate pairing for our tasting which I highly recommend and the Ports were terrific.

Cockburn's - Visit to do, very good guide in French, neither too long nor too short. 3 different ports tested, and we took a snack all for a reasonable price. An excellent experience.

Great experience - Very interesting tour with an exciting guide, who speaks very good French: thank you Philip! The cellars are beautiful and the tasting at the end is worth a visit. Very good value for money. We also had a drink at the bar, and all the staff was very nice.

Port tasting at Cockburn's port. - The port is delicious. The tour is good, but a little slow. I wish the guide stayed and talked more during the tastings. It would have made the experience more interactive.
