It traditionally contains white port, tonic, ice and lemon. For the first time we also got to order Port Tonics which we heard about on our tour to Ferreira.

We ordered a basket full of bread just to dip it in all those amazing sauces that were left on our seafood. Next we had some king prawns, octopus and cod, all of which were super delicious. We actually went there looking for some great fresh seafood and stopped at a restaurant called Canastra do Fidalgo, where we ate the best seafood in our lives! For starters we got some amazing oysters and knew immediately that it could only get better from there.
Marten fell in love with this city as soon as he got his foot out of the car and said that he’d love to live there. Its biggest attraction in addition to windsurfing are the striped colorful wooden houses which were used by the fisherman to store their fishing nets. Our next adventure took us to a picturesque small town called Costa Nova. An indescribably cool experience and at a very affordable price, Porto keeps on surprising us with it’s wonders.
My strong favorites were tawny and an aged white, which were brought as a gift. This was followed by an introduction of the four main types of port - white port, rose port, tawny port and ruby port. We were led to the magnificent Dona Antonia room where a selection of fine port wines awaited us. Our initial expectations were greatly exceeded and as they save the best for the last, we had come to the best part of this tour, the wine tasting. We then moves to the wine museum, where we were introduced to the history of the company and then we headed straight to the beautiful wine cellar itself. We were greeted by a lovely guide with whom our private visit to the wine cellars of Ferreira began. Sign up to receive a bit of local Alaska in your inbox. We would not have expected to have such an experience to remember for the rest of our lives. Roam with us Recipes for your table, stories from the makers, and announcements to keep you in the know. However we received a pleasant surprise on the spot as it was absolutely different from what we had imagined and in a good way. I thought that at such a reasonable price we would probably hear a quick brief introduction, see a wine barrel on the way and finally we would be rush to drink our wines as new customers would come in. Our tour included a visit to the Port Wine History Museum, a walk in their gorgeous wine cellars and ended up with a tasting of four different port wines. We chose the first and also the priciest one called Dona Antonia Visit that cost us 23 euros per person (for comparison - Ferreiros simplest ports can easily be found in local grocery stores for about 5 euros a bottle). I decided to book out tour on the spot, but you can easily do it online as well. There are many amazing port wine cellars in Porto, but as our first one we chose to visit Ferreira because it is the only great wine cellar that has remained in the hands of Portuguese people throughout the history. I had a friend visiting from Estonia so we decided to make it a girl trip this time. We started our weekend with a visit to one of Porto’s most famous wine cellars called Ferreira.
