Creator's Key Takeaways

These views were amazing.

It is actually light and body. Um but then it it does coat. It has some spice to it still.

Totally recommend.

We had a great time and were able to get that second tasting in at Fonka.

Creator's Tips & Advice

If you're in Porto for a short time, make the most of it by exploring beyond the official tour.
Pair port wine with dark chocolate for a better tasting experience.

YouTube Video Description

Join us for an unforgettable cruise port day in Porto, Portugal! 🇵🇹🚢 While sailing with Azamara, we took a cruise line–organized excursion into the heart of Porto, where our adventure began with a scenic Douro River cruise offering incredible views of the city’s iconic bridges and colorful riverfront. Next, we visited Calem Cellars for a delicious Port wine tasting, learning about the history and flavors of Portugal’s most famous export. But the day didn’t end there — as the official tour wrapped up, we teamed up with another couple and slipped away for a bonus Port wine tasting at Fonseca, making the most of our short time in Porto before heading back to the ship on our own. If you’re visiting Porto on a cruise — or planning a trip to Portugal — this video will give you ideas on how to combine sightseeing, river views, and the best of Porto’s wine culture into one perfect day.
