Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We took this guided tour recommended by local friends. Cellar tour with standard tasting (3 glasses/tastings) 20 euros. Duration 1 hour and a half. The guide Riccardo, very good, described clearly even for those who don't know much about wine.
Our group was 8 people.
The tour is available in all languages.
I recommend it as a different experience to have and to try the famous Port wine.

We were part of a public tour with an English-speaking guide. He was fun, engaging, knowledgeable, and a wealth of information about port wine and about Cockburn's. The tour was great, the tasting was excellent, and we were able to stay a while in the company museum afterwards. Cockburn's does it all, including making their own barrels, so this is the most complete port lodge experiene you can find.

Our Port wine tour guide was Mário! We had a private visit because by chance, there were no other tourists who spoke Portuguese (which was great, as we had all our curiosities clarified by him). It was very interesting to learn about the entire history of this cave, which has been around for over 200 years.
The wine pairing was a unique experience too. We tried the cheese one and the chocolate one! It was amazing!

My friend and I visited and had a great time. Whilst the lodge is located at the top of a steep hill, it is worth the climb. The tour was informative and just the right amount of time. The highlight for me was the tasting of the Ports. The lady leading the tasting, Nicole Santos, spoke perfect English (certainly better than mine!), was very knowledgeable and went into great detail on the various types of Port, how they are made and aged. She also made some great recommendations of Port to take home with us, these bottles are now safely home in the US.

I have a couple of Cockburn's older vintage ports, so when we were in Porto/Gaia, we decided to visit their caves. They're up on the hill a bit from the river. We had their "premium" tasting, but I wasn't wildly impressed with the wines. The facility seems pretty nice and maybe a tour might have improved things? All in all, though, unless you just love their ports, I think there are better experiences in Gaia.

A really good visit to understand Port wines. The guide, Mario, very attentive and with very pleasant explanations. We did the classic tasting, tasting and understanding three different types of wines. I don't know about the other wineries, but this one is very worth it

Our tour guide was Francisco and he was absolutely fantastic. He was extremely knowledgeable and gave us all the information we needed and more. He was funny as well! My friend and I had a bunch of other questions at the end and he was extremely helpful by giving us all the answers we needed, recommendations, as well as advice and information. Truthful, funny, and knowledgeable! I highly recommend a tour at Cockburns and to ask for Francisco if you can!!

Great reception and guide. The tour es informative nd just long enough. We both learned a lot.
We bought 2 bottles in the sho at the end… Fully recommend

Fascinating tour of this enormous historic port lodge. With over a million litres of port in store it is a sight to behold. The tour includes the chance to see the on site cooperage ( go in a morning if you want to see the men at work) . There is also a small museum telling the story of the brand. Tasting was relaxed and enjoyable. There is a good on site shop too (sadly we were travelling hand luggage only so could only purchase at the airport)

Here we did a classic Port Tour led by a guide who could have explained it all better and more clearly. Didn't know some questions, but the rooms and everything else we saw more than made up for that. Then we tasted 3 more glasses of Port and we enjoyed it.
