What to expect

Burmester Wine Cellars

Burmester’s story began in London in 1750 before its trade took root in Vila Nova de Gaia. Today, its riverside cellars take you through centuries of craftsmanship, ageing traditions, and an impressive Vintage collection.

Features:

• Inside the cellars: Wander through cool, atmospheric rooms lined with ageing casks while your guide explains what happens behind the cellar doors.

• The Vintage cellar: See Burmester’s collection of Vintage Ports and learn why certain harvest years are set apart for extended ageing.

• Three-way tasting: Compare three different expressions side by side and notice how age, style, and time in cask change aroma, texture, and flavour.

• Pick your pairing: Choose cheese and chocolate with LBV, Vintage, and 20-Year-Old, or Trilogy Senses with soft egg, almond cookie, and cheese.
