    Port Wine Lodge Tour in Vila Nova de Gaia

    In 1703, the Treaty of Methuen accidentally created an industry. English merchants needed wine to survive a six-week Atlantic crossing, so they added aguardente mid-fermentation — not for flavor, but survival. The taste was an accident that became Port. Andrew Symington bought four casks of 1882 Tawny in the 1920s and hid them from his own family for three generations. Graham's Ne Oublie — 'Do Not Forget' — was finally bottled in 2014: 656 decanters at $7,480 each, and two casks are still sealed. You can taste a 20-Year Tawny on Taylor's terrace while Porto's Ribeira turns gold at sunset.
