Poças Guided Visit and Port Wine Tasting with Pastel de Nata
Description
With more than 100 years of life, Poças is currently in the hands of the 4th generation, being one of the rare companies of Port Wine that was born Portuguese and remains in the hands of the same family since its foundation. Our old Port Tawny wines have built the reputation of Poças, but for 30 years the DOC Douro wines have also proved their quality. In 2019, Poças received the award of “Fortified Wine Producer of the Year 2018”, awarded by the Vinhos Magazine. The Poças Visit Center has been open to the public since 2016, and was fully renovated in 2018 - an innovative project with the signature of architects Lúcia Vaz Pato and António Mota. With approximately 28,000 visitors per year, the Visitor Centre was awarded the Certificate of Excellence from TripAdvisor in 2018. With us you will dive into the familiar atmosphere of Poças, feel the unforgettable aroma of the most noble wines and observe the routines of a cellar full of life!
