Make reservations at least several days in advance for the tour & for the restaurant. We couldn’t do either as when our Sheraton hotel called the day before they were fully booked. It’s a very long steep uphill walk taking at least 20 minutes with no sidewalks up to it. Take an Uber instead for a few euros. Carry bottled water with you as none of the quintas offered us water. Superb port – the best we have ever had for the tawny ports & we are port lovers. We liked the atmosphere & the outstanding views. It was the best quinta we visited with the best port.We enjoyed sitting in some comfy chairs overseeing the magnificent views & drinking port & having appetizers. Suggestions to Grahams: Put signage when you enter to tell you where the tasting room, tours & restaurants are. We wandered around until we found the tasting room. We would have paid for the more expensive port tasting if it was offered to us. Explain there is no table service. We sat down & waited for around 10 minutes until I finally went to the bar where they explained there was no table service & you had to keep going up to the bar & pay for each drink. Table service would have been preferred so we could order more port/appetizers & could have started a tab. We would have gone on the tour or ate in the restaurant if they had a cancellation so maybe ask if the person wants one when entering. No one asked us.

My wife and I made a tour of this cellar recently and really do recommend this very highly. From the warm welcome at the arrival to the choices of tastings to select and then to the materials to view in the museum the start was very informative and friendly and enjoyable. The tour itself was excellent with plenty of time to view everything and ask questions - we never felt rushed and Max the guide was extremely knowledgeable and friendly. There were plenty of tasting options but i recommend the premium tastings. the talk through of the ports you taste was very interesting and informative. I recommend pre-booking their restaurant - Vinum at the end of the tour to round off a superb experience. Great staff throughout and amazing things to see and learn!

Unbelievable experience and amazing value for money! We booked the enogastronomic experience package - Graham’s Lodge Premium Tasting and Lunch - for €60 per person. We started with a guided tour of the wine cellars which was about an hour long, and then was taken into a beautiful tasting room. We had 3 great tastings of Graham’s Port (very generous sizes!) and was also offered a complimentary extra glass of a different type of port also. We were then meant to be having lunch in the Vinum restaurant after 45 mins but the staff did not rush us at all and we stayed in the tasting room for an hour and a half. We then went onto lunch where we had 4 brilliant courses (small appetiser, starter, main (beautifully cooked steak), and dessert, along with 3 glasses of wine throughout and unlimited still or sparkling water and a coffee at the end. The staff were so so lovely and attentive. The views from the restaurant were also great. We then bought some Port from the store afterwards and got a 10% discount for eating in the restaurant. Highlight of our trip to Porto and the package with tour, tasting and lunch was extremely good value for money and made a great full day out!

This was by far our favorite port tasting in Portugal. The tour was great (but if you’re looking for more history and process, there are better informational tours). You got to see all of the port in the casks and the private collection of vintage ports of the owner. We also did one of the Vintage Room tastings for their Tawny port (€50 each). It was totally worth it.

This evening was a trip highlight for us. The tour was very interesting ( I didn't know much about ports) the guide was entertaining and knowledgeable. The tasting was fun and informative, we tasted a broad range of ports from 10yo to 40yo along with 1980,1994 and 2000 vintage ports. As a novice when you taste them in a series you can appreciate their different qualities. Then there was the meal which was perfect. The menu was creative and delicious. The presentation of all the courses was as attractive as it was delicious. The entire evening was worth the hefty price tag

Highly recommended by friends and the hotel staff, the Graham’s Porto Tasting Tour is a very worthwhile experience. The facility is really beautiful and the generational story of the family that owns this private enterprise is interesting. Porto is pretty complicated but the videos, exhibits and staff explain how the wine is made, how to differentiate between Porto types and what each variant tastes like. Here’s some good advice relating to purchasing the tasting experience. If you have money to burn and feel that your palate is sophisticated, then go ahead and buy the vintage tasting options. If you are like me, and think all Porto tastes the same, then go for the inexpensive tasting option and just enjoy the experience. The prices vary from 14 Euro to over 100 Euro. We went in the late afternoon and ended our tasting with a cheese tray which made for a very pleasant light dinner.

We took 2 of the €45 vintage tours (my boyfriend and I shared the 6 glasses to try more Ports) The tour is super worth it, Francisca Braga was our guide and she explained everything extremely well, answered all our questions and listened to our tasting experience. The vintage room was impressive!!! The decoration is beautiful and it makes you feel the history of the family. The restaurant and bar is super beautiful as well. After the tour we had 2 more drinks in the terrace, the view was breathtaking. If you come to Porto, please don’t miss this tour!!

The visitors center is recently renovated and really beautiful. We did the last English tour of the day, 16:45. Advance reservations are required. While you wait for the tour to begin, you can browse their interesting museum. There is a short film, then a tour of barrel ageing areas and cellars with vintages back to 1868. The price of your ticket depends on the ports you want to taste. My husband chose the premium red, I chose the white, so that we could share. It is even possible to order a glass of 1882 port at 500E! We were the last to leave as we wanted to ask questions and look at more displays - staff let us look, which was very nice, no rush. After the tasting you exit through the shop. From there you can go right into the bar of Vinum, which opens at 7pm.

A fun, impressive, and informative tour. Our tour guide was enthusiastic, knowledgable, and spoke perfect English. We learned an enormous amount about the history of Port, the company, and the process of making it. I strongly recommend the premium Tawny tasting following the tour as this offers great value. I would also suggest booking lunch at Vinum to follow the tasting.

Interesting tour and the guide was very informative, but after going to the Douro Valley and seeing the small family run quintas, it just wasn't as good as their tours and tastings. We can't compare it to the other lodges ad this was the only one we did, but if you have the chance to either go to nova de gaia for the day or do a tour of the douro Valley then go to the valley instead! If not Grahams was very nice. Lovely views from the tasting room. Lovely setting in its gardens. You have to email and book in advance. The price depends on your tasting. Our cost €18.50 for the basic package which was two Ruby ports and a ten year old tawny. This was fine for us as we prefer Ruby's, but for port officianados they have more expensive tasting packages. Although everything they have in the tasting packages plus others they sell by the glass so we bought others we wanted to try as well. White port started at €3 for a glass and they had a vintage of the day for €10/glass. We found the things they sold in the shop cheaper in balhao market. Not necessarily the fancy stuff but the gift set of four small bottles wad €13 in balhao and €15 at Grahams.
