Visit to Cálem Cellars (Port wine cellars)

Founded in 1859 by António Alves Cálem, Porto Cálem was owned by the same family for four generations before passing into the hands of Sogevinus SGPS, S.A in 1998.

A visit to Cálem begins with the museum and then moves on to the cellars where, at a multimedia point inside a pressing vat, the visitor is offered an overview of the oldest demarcated region in the world - the Douro Demarcated Region.

The entire process of producing port wine from harvesting to bottling and ageing is also explained. The visit ends with a tasting of two types of wine and the chance to browse through our shop which offers a quality selection of Cálem port wines.

Dinner at the Vinum restaurant - Graham's Port Lodge (Port wine cellars) 

VINUM is located at Graham’s Port’s fully functioning 19thcentury cellars where generations of famous Port wines have been aged in over 3,200 oak barrels. The main dining room looks directly onto the barrel cellar, with ancient pine beams supported by cast-iron pillars, which date back to 1890. It is an historic and atmospheric setting, which combines the best food the city of Porto has to offer with an immersive wine experience.

Attached to the main dining room is the Atrium – our winter garden – which provides one of Portugal and Europe’s most astoundingly beautiful views, both day and night, onto the ancient, UNESCO World Heritage, city of Porto, the Douro river and the unique Dom Luís I Bridge. Few restaurants in the world offer such an atmosphere and setting.
