Taylors is a slightly further walk up the hill than others (we learnt that this was because they were one of the oldest port wine cellars in Porto). The staff and are friendly and we found our tour very informative, with plenty of samples of port. I would recommend coordinating a visit with dinner in their restaurant. The food was... More

After a poor experience at a different port house, we asked our concierge for a recommendation for a tour at another. He told us Taylor's was considered the best by many people and called to see if they still had any English tours late in the afternoon. We grabbed a cab from the center and were at the top of...

We jumped on the back of a tour after eating at the restaurant at Taylor's. The tour was OK; informative but noting amazing. The tasting was good at the end and the whole thing was free so we can't complain (unless we missed the payment part). More

Having made the effort to climb the steep hill to Taylor's, we were rather disappointed with the visit. It is not free, as several recent guides suggested. A charge of 3€ is not exorbitant, but the three ports we tasted were not very special - the Chips white was probably the best. Even the savouries to help the tasting were... More

This was our first cellar visit and tasting. One of the only remaining port houses still in British hands, and still family owned and run. Lovely premises. The tour of the cellars was very informative and the guide was knowledgeable and seemed to know her stuff, and enjoy sharing it. Very good explanations of the port making process. The ports... More

Although quite a hike up a steep hill, lunch at the restaurant at Taylor's rewarded with stunning views of Porto. Both the inside dining room and outside patio are beautiful. The food was also delicious and one of the best meals we had in Porto. We also joined the brief tour which was informative. More
