Interesting tour with lots of information about wine making. The tasting and the Fado were good . Unfortunately the show was disrupted by a very loud and inappropriate groups . My only negative comment is the the room was too crowded to my taste on COVID world. Otherwise is a great experience.

The tour was rushed so we can get 5 mins before the fado show so that was not great. 2 glasses of Port, 1 red and 1 white and some crakers for the tasting. these were on the table ready to have while you listen to the show. the fado was nice, I think that saved the tour.

As informações sobre vinhos , e todo o processo foi muito bem explicada e informada pela funcionária . O show de fado foi bem gostoso. Porém eu particularmente acreditava ser uma área maior para saber sobre o vinhos, e seu processo. Vimos apenas 2 salas . A maior parte do tempo foi o show de fado .
