Perched on the Douro riverfront in Vila Nova de Gaia, Sandeman's historic cellars have aged fine port wines since 1790. The house is instantly recognized by its mysterious mascot 'The Don', created in 1928 dressed in a Portuguese student cape and Spanish hat. Guided tours explore vast granite vaults lined with oak pipes and vats, sharing the heritage of the Douro Valley before ending with a guided tasting of Tawny and Ruby ports.
Highlights
- Atmospheric 18th-century granite cellars lined with oak casks
- Curated tastings of vintage, Tawny, and Ruby port wines
- Iconic imagery of 'The Don' in traditional cape and hat
