port wine tasting in Porto

no trip to Porto is complete without a port wine tasting session in Porto. we did a guided walking tour of Porto which ended with a port wine tasting session. the guide gave us a brief introduction of the vintages and tasting notes and allowed us sufficient time to taste and appreciate each glass of wine. you can also get tasting sets from the market which was cheap (we got ourselves a set of 4 at 12 Euros which included 40 year tawny port) there will also be many many different brands of port on sale at the markets at a reasonable price port is not commonly drank where I live but they do offer worldwide shipping although costs could be prohibitive #porto #portwine
