Description

Good to Know

Step beyond a traditional tasting and immerse yourself in a journey where every sip tells a story. From the moment you enter Taylor’s historic cellars, you are enveloped in centuries of tradition, craftsmanship, and passion. Each masterclass is more than a tasting — it is a curated exploration of Port wine at its finest, where rare vintages, aged Tawnies, and iconic Ports reveal layers of complexity, depth, and elegance. Guided by an expert host, you will discover subtle aromas, intricate textures, and the distinctive character that time, oak, and terroir have imparted to each wine. Overlooking the Douro River and the city of Porto, the setting transforms every taste into a moment of indulgence, reflection, and appreciation — a truly unforgettable experience for collectors, connoisseurs, and anyone who cherishes the art of fine wine.

The highlight of our trip to Portugal

We visited Taylor’s for a private Port masterclass during a trip to Portugal with friends, and it turned out to be one of the best things we did. Our guide, Andrew Costello, was exceptional — his depth of knowledge was remarkable, and he walked us through the wines with a level of detail and passion that made everything click. The setting was unbelievable, and having a private area for our tasting made it feel genuinely exclusive and personal. Andrew made the whole group feel looked after from s...read more

Tasting History !

This was an epic tasting lead by our wonderful, experienced and very knowledgeable host Janaina ! She made this experience so causal, comfortable, engaging and enlightening.

Janaina slowly walked us through long history viewed by barrel after barrel and terroir that explained the nuances of what we were about to taste. The port wines from 10 to 50 yrs in age were spectac...read more

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An exceptional ICONS Masterclass with Jana

We chose Taylor’s ICONS Masterclass as part of Eric’s 60th birthday celebrations in Porto, and it turned out to be one of the highlights of our trip. A huge part of that was thanks to Jana. Her knowledge of Port is exceptional, but what impressed us most was how perfectly she adapted the experience to both of us. Eric is a genuine Port enthusiast, while I am very much a beginner. Jana gave Eric the depth and detail he was looking for, while explaining everything clearly enough for me to underst...read more

5 Star Master Tour and Tasting

Fantastic tour with Pedro Ribeiro at Taylor in Gaia. He did an exceptional job explaining the different types of port wine, how each type is made, grapes used, the aging/fermentation process and much more. We had three other port wine tours throughout the Douro Valley and none of them came close to the tour we had with Pedro. 5 Stars to Pedro and Taylor. This is the only one you want to book.
