Haha your tour guide really did look the part. Love the “don” look 🙂 And the winery looks awesome as well.

I’m glad you found some sherry that you like, Nancie.
The oak floors are quite impressive – if you hadn’t mentioned it, I wouldn’t have known.

It looks like Porto may have had you longing for the sunny Algarve again and your photo of the city certainly emphasizes the dreary weather! This looks like a very interesting tour and goes hand-in-hand with the tour we all took to the cork factory.

In reply to Mary. Hi Mary. Porto is a lovely city! (even in the rain...haha). I enjoyed the tour, and if I had gotten there earlier, I probably would have opted for one of the longer tours. I took the last one of the day.

In reply to Sally. Hi Sally. I think learning about the history made the tour more memorable.

In reply to Michele {Malaysian Meanders}. Hi Michele. I didn't know a lot about Port, either. I always thought that it was more of a liquor than a wine. I had no idea there was a tawny port. The ruby is definitely the more popular.

Interesting wine tour! The clicks of the cellar are nice.

Porto is so beautiful and with a glass of port it’s just perfect. I’ve been there a few years ago and the port wine tour was just marvelous!

So what I want to know is whether Porto is named after port wine? A nice drop of port would have gone down well on a wet and dreary day I’m thinking. Looks like a lovely place.

This looks like a great tour my husband and I would have enjoyed. We really wish we had more time in Portugal to go to Porto.The shot of Porto looks so lovely. Good luck with the new semester!
