Port house tour and tasting in Portugal
Going on A Week in Portugal Tour very soon and I was wondering which Port Houses does Tauck go to on this tour. We will be in Porto several days before our tour starts and I don’t want to independently go to a port house that Tauck will be taking us to.

We just returned from this tour and had a port tasting at Cockburn’s as part of the tour.
Traveling independently we had a delightful lunch at the Taylor Fladgate bodega restaurant https://www.baraofladgate.com/en/. As with all bodegas it is in Gaia, across the Douro from Porto. It was a quick cab ride from our hotel. It’s pretty high on the hill and the view looking back at Porto is very nice. The wine and port pairings were also very good. Something to do on your own.
Years ago we ate at Taylor’s Winery. I don’t recall which side of the Douro it was located, but it was high on the hill. I wonder if it is the same place referenced above, perhaps rebranded. We had the pre-set menu with wine pairings. Lovely.
