Oporto Attractions
Solar Vinho do Porto
Solar Vinho do Porto
Visitors come to Oporto for the port wine. The place to head for
samples of every port produced in the region (and also the
rest of Portugal) is the Solar Vinho do Porto in the Quinta de
Macieirinha. Inside the rose-bedecked villa is a relaxed, upmarket
tasting room, staffed by knowledgeable hosts who offer glasses or
bottles of port, along with some complimentary snacks and
information on the port-making process. Also in the villa is a
small museum containing a collection of 18th century furniture and
some paintings.
