Real Companhia Velha: Guided Cellar Tour with Port Wine Tasting

Visit the historic Real Companhia Velha cellars on a guided tour with a curated tasting of White, Rosé, LBV, and 10-year-old Tawny Port.

Getting started

Begin your experience by entering the historic Real Companhia Velha Port wine cellars and joining your group for the guided visit. After check-in, your guide introduces the Royal Oporto Tour format and outlines the tasting of White, Rosé, LBV, and 10-year-old Tawny Port that follows the walkthrough of the cellars. You then set off together into the cellar spaces.

What to expect

Real Companhia Velha Port wine cellars

These traditional Port wine cellars belong to Real Companhia Velha, a long-standing producer in Vila Nova de Gaia, where Port is stored and aged.

Features

• During the guided tour of the Real Companhia Velha Port wine cellars, you walk among the aging casks while your guide explains the company’s history and how Port wine is made and matured on-site. This lets you see up close where different Port styles rest before bottling.
• A Port wine tasting of White, Rosé, LBV, and a 10-year-old Tawny is included, so you can compare color, aroma, and structure across these four expressions in a structured session. Each pour is presented in sequence to highlight what sets the styles apart.
• Your visit follows the Royal Oporto Tour program, which frames the route and commentary through the cellars. Depending on the option selected at booking, your experience may instead include the Port & Chocolate Experience, the Founders Tour program, or the Single Quinta Tour program, each adding its own focus to the same cellar setting.
• If you choose the Port & Chocolate Experience option, chocolate is paired with the Port tasting to explore how sweetness and texture interact with White, Rosé, LBV, and 10-year-old Tawny. This combination is structured so you can match each sample with its suggested bite.

Wrapping up

After the tasting concludes inside the Real Companhia Velha Port wine cellars, your chosen program ends at the cellars, leaving you free to depart at your own pace or continue your day in the surrounding area.
