Itinerary
Savour the timeless flavours of Port wine with a curated tasting at Taylor’s, one of the oldest and most prestigious founding Port houses, established in 1692. Located in the heart of Lisbon’s historic Alfama district, next to the Chafariz d’El Rei — the city’s first public fountain — Taylor’s offers a refined and memorable tasting experience that blends tradition, quality, and local charm. During the session, you’ll explore the unique characteristics of three distinctive Port styles: Chip Dry Extra Dry White, the original dry white Port known for its crisp and refreshing profile; Late Bottled Vintage (LBV), a rich and full-bodied wine first developed by Taylor’s in the 1970s; and 10-Year-Old Tawny, aged in seasoned oak casks to achieve a smooth, mellow complexity. To complete the experience, enjoy a traditional Pastel de Nata — Portugal’s iconic custard tart — perfectly paired with these exceptional wines. Whether you're a seasoned enthusiast or new to Port, this experience offers an elegant introduction to the depth and richness of Taylor’s heritage.
