About Us:
Poças is currently managed by its 4th generation, standing as one of the rare Port Wine brands that have remained Portuguese-owned and operated since its inception. Although Old Tawny Ports are what Poças is traditionally known for, our DOC Douro wines have also been demonstrating impressive quality for the past three decades. Poças was honored with the “Fortified wine producer of the year 2018” award by the Portuguese magazine “Revista de Vinhos”. Furthermore, our Visitor Center, which welcomes roughly 28 000 guests annually, has earned the Tripadvisor Certificate of Excellence.

Experience to try - High quality Douro and Port wine tasting. The guide, as well as a descendant of the family that has traditionally followed the production activity of this company for generations, is very knowledgeable and available to resolve any customer doubts.

Great visit - Excellent visit to this family-owned winery (the only one) in Porto, with a well-informed guide. The tasting was a bit confusing at first, since the tour group consisted of people who had booked different tasting options. You can buy extra glasses of wine or port on the spot, and they offer aperitifs, chocolate, nuts etc, as extras. Well worth the visit, and off the beaten track compared to the big wineries on the quayside.

Great plan! - The guided tour with Ines was incredible, she showed us the cellar and she explained us the process of making wine. It was very interesting and she was super nice. The wine tasting was also very good, the place was very cute.
It is a great plan for visiting Porto.

Excellent guided tour - The guide told us the history of the winery, always belonging to the same Portuguese family. One of the few 100% Portuguese wineries. We loved the visit and the delicious wines. Highly recommended.

Great Small Winery Near Porto - Great Small Winery Near Porto that does more than just Port. There are plenty of port wine cellars in Gaia. It was to try one that with many varieties of wine. Off the beaten path, but good.

Nice visit - Interesting visit on the port manufacturing process between AOC wine and port, white, red, oak barrels, everything is explained.
Small downside to the tasting I would advise tasting a good wine rather than a more basic wine that would encourage more sales
