Excellent tour of the port making process

there are many places to taste port throughout Porto and many wineries to visit "over the bridge" from Porto before you reach Churchill's, but this is worth the extra walk. Great, friendly, knowledgeable staff. Excellent range of ports to taste as well as surprising well...More

Decent port and nice white wine

We tried the 20 and 30 year old tawnys along with some Douro wines. The reds were nothing special but the older tawnys were quite good. The guide was knowledgeable and helpful.

Intimate and friendly tour and tasting

The staff kindly accommodated me, despite not booking. (It's best to book.) The tour was interesting and quite short at 20 minutes, but only €7.50 and more time for tasting. The lady who looked after us was really nice and enthusiastic, although some knowledge of...More

Personal attention at Porto's newest port wine centre

Churchill's is the newest port wine producer in Porto, being formed in 1981. The visitor centre is a little way along the river front, uphill at the western end of Gaia. Our second visit to Churchill's was again very enjoyable. We made an appointment via...More

As others have said you need to book here. It is quite small and they do not have many places. Actually the film and the warehouse tour are not necessary, you could well leave them out, and go straight to the tasting. The film acoustics...More

Hello, I was wondering how to get to Churchill's from Porto. I would prefer to walk if it is not more than a 45 minute walk. Also, are there other port houses nearby to visit? Thank you, Lisa Denning

Hi Lisa, As people have said, the Port houses are all on the one side and its easy to walk from one to another. Some are a reasonable distance apart though and on a hot day you probably want to drink plenty of water too... More
