What to expect

Ferreira wine cellars

Founded in 1751, the Ferreira wine cellars in Vila Nova de Gaia are a historic Port house closely linked to the Douro region and its producers.

Features

• Walk among hundreds of ageing oak barrels as your guide explains how Port matures in wood and how conditions in the cellars shape each style.
• Hear the story of Dona Antonia Adelaide Ferreira, known as the Ferreirinha of the Douro, and learn how her work influenced both the company and the wider region.
• Take part in a Port wine tasting that features three distinct styles, with one White, one Ruby, and one Tawny so you can compare color, aroma, and flavor.
• Join a guided visit with an expert English-speaking guide that lasts around 2 hours, with entry to the Ferreira wine cellars included for this tour.
• Spend time in the Harvest Room and step into the cellar gardens as part of the route, seeing different sides of the estate connected to production and tradition.
• Younger guests receive juice during the tasting segment, so they can sit comfortably and take part in this part of the visit in their own way.
