★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Unforgettable Wine tour and wine tasting. Vintage surely lives up to its name but Tawny is my favorite, as it goes with just about anything.
The selection of cheese is wonderful and greatly recommended to be ordered alongside to be shared among 3 (or 4) person.
The guides are considerate enough to leave you to your own after introducing the wines as the wine tasting starts, since one may be easily drunk and blushed in crimson after three glasses. ???

10 STARS FROM ME
▪Definitely - the most welcome, the longest, the most interesting, the greatest and the most knowledgeable Portos' Lodge tour. Our guard was a realy full of passion, a natural, a very friendly and a polite. She answered every question with zero mistakes (during my visit in Sandeman I counted about 7 mistakes or lies about Porto wine). And the tasting was like a real Paradise in you mouth (you have to remember that Cockburn's has one of the sweetest style; the fortifications has taken place in the second day of fermentation not on the third day, like in the other houses). It is a very good value for monay.
Bravo! Bravo! Bravo! Thank you soo much. I'll be back next year.l

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ We enjoyed our only port wine tour in Porto with Cockburn. The explanation were clear and the tour length was a good amount of time. The wine we tasted was also delicious. We were able to join the tour walk-in without reservation on a rainy day around 5pm. I think it would be wise to book ahead if you are after specific time.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I went to Cockburn's knowing little to nothing about port wine and assumed from times as a student (always reliable, hah) that I disliked it. Seems times have changed me.
I took a tour in an English speaking group. The guide had very good English and was easy to understand and exceptional knowledge of the facility (as I suppose you'd expect). The tour took in the heritage and background of the place, the different storage types and methods of aging, and the huge store warehouse amongst other things. My favourite was a video documenting the construction and reusing of the barrels by the expert coopers; it would have been amazing to see them working first hand.
The tour was all incredibly interesting (more so than I expected) and a very enjoyable couple of hours.
At the end we enjoyed a sample of 3 different port wines, one of which was a very palatable tawny. I'd definitely recommend going!

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ We loved the tour here, and had a very extravagant tasting afterward. Our group was a fairly large one that had booked all different tasting options. After the tour ended we were taken to different rooms depending on the tastings we booked. It was very well organised but still quite a personal experience. I loved seeing the area where the coopers all worked especially! Lots of different sensory elements here too; video, walking tour, touching the tools, smelling the bodega and tasting at the end. An excellent experience for Port lovers.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Just finished with a tour, chocolate pairing tasting and picnic at Cockburn Port Lodge. What an amazing tour with some very good Ports and Tawny's.
Our tour guide Leonor was fantastic and we thought she looked just like Emma Watson. She spoke perfect English and was very easy to understand and presented Cockburn wines in a wonderful lite. Great tour to take while in Portugal.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Fascinating and beautiful tour of warehouse. The buildings are fascinating and surrounded by historic brick build constructions. The tour felt very personal and gave a good insight into the history of both the region and the company.
There was so many interesting things to take photos of too and much of the set up looks unchanged for generations.
We also did a small tasting platter and thoroughly enjoyed the experience.
Good for: architecture, port, photography, history

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ With covid, an appointment required for wine tasting! Really nice port wine tasting place! The building itself is really well preserved, the new design of the inside is really well done! The staff is lovable, our tour guide in English was really good and speaks an amazing English! The wine tasting with chocolate associates was great! We highly recommend this place!
