We had a wonderful day with Goncal. He was so knowledgeable about wines and especially port. We had a great tour and tasting at the Port maker. It is very interesting how they make it and the differences between tawny and ruby are interesting to know about. We loved this tour and highly recommend it for your visit to Porto!
