Step into the ambience of old Portugal and the culture surrounding port wine with a visit to an ancient port wine cellar.

Interpretive panels lining the cellar room illustrates the centuries-old history of Douro wine. Local handicrafts are also on display and are available for purchase. The highlight of your visit will be exposure to the local folklore known as Fado. UNESCO has placed Fado on its list of Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity treasures, and today's show is performed by the voices of some of the city's greatest singers.
