“Because we were there on a cold, rainy day we were the only people on the English tour so it was like a private tour for us! Matthew our guide was very informative and entertaining. Would recommend if you are interested in learning about the history and manufacturing of port wine. The tasting was a good way to compare the different varieties you just learned about.”
