Burmester Wine Cellar Guided Tour with 3 Port Wine Tastings

Explore Burmester's historic 1750 cellars on a guided tour paired with three port tastings and curated food pairings.

Getting started

Begin by entering the Burmester Lodge cellars for your scheduled guided visit. After check-in, you join your group and meet the expert guide who will lead you through the underground spaces. Once the introduction is complete, the tour moves directly into the working and ageing areas of the cellars before finishing in the tasting area.

What to expect

Burmester Lodge cellars

Dating back to 1750, the Burmester Lodge cellars combine a historical environment with a guided visit focused on port production and tasting.

Features

• Guided tour of the cellars with an expert guide included, who explains how Burmester ports are aged and stored in this unique location that has been recognised with a Traveller's Choice prize by Tripadvisor.
• Three port tastings are included at the end of the cellar visit, giving you a structured way to compare different styles side by side.
• Juice for guests under 18 is served during the tasting so younger visitors have their own dedicated drink while adults explore the port selection.
• Cheese and chocolate for paying adults are provided as food pairings, and you can choose between a chocolate and cheese tasting or a Trilogy Senses format.
• With the Chocolate & Cheese Tour & Tasting option, a full chocolate and cheese tasting is included and matched specifically to your three port tastings.
• With the Trilogy Senses option, you experience a tasting of LBV, Vintage and 20-year ports, focusing on how these three expressions differ in character and ageing.

Wrapping up

At the end of the tasting, you can decide which option suits you best on future visits, either the Chocolate & Cheese Tour & Tasting or the Trilogy Senses, and then depart the Burmester Lodge cellars at your own pace once you have finished your selected experience.
