Join us at Lisbon Affair and uncover the reasons behind the global acclaim for Port wine. Our passion for Port wine knows no bounds, and we're delighted to share our Wine Affair with you.

Details

The Port Wine Tasting is not only a treat for aficionados but also an excellent opportunity for those eager to delve into the nuances of this distinctive fortified wine. Let our expert sommeliers guide you through the diverse world of Ports, assisting you in finding the perfect match for your palate. As one of the oldest wines globally, Port wine carries centuries of fascinating tales. During our tasting sessions, we'll regale you with its incredible history. Our carefully curated selection features Ports from small producers. These boutique Ports carry the magnetic narratives of families devoted to centuries-old craftsmanship. Simply put, Port wine comes in three main types: White, crafted in both aged and unaged versions, resembling the pale or golden yellow tones of white wine; Ruby, aging mostly in the bottle with a deep ruby red color; and Tawny, maturing in wooden barrels and having a brownish hue. We will present you a range of 5 Ports, and be prepared because it will include a delightful 10-years-old Tawny, a LBV and a Vintage, in a unique experience. Indulge in a Port Wine Tasting that spans 2 hours, creating an intimate setting with groups capped at a maximum of 6 people. For groups larger than 6 people, please contact us and we will be pleased to organize it for your group. Come, sip, and let the rich history and flavors of Port wine enchant you.

You will learn about Port wine, born in the oldest demarcated region in the world, and how it has continued to evolve, reinvent itself, and remain in excellent shape. Groups: 2-6 people and Private Groups up to 16.
