I am travelling to Portugal on Saturday (13th November) and will be spending 4 nights in Lisbon, 4 nights in Porto and 2 nights in the 6 senses in the Duoro and am after some advice on various port related things!
I have been to Lisbon and Porto before and done it very touristy in that we did basically the top stuff on Tripadvisor, but visiting this time I would like to be a bit more savvy and investigate what actually might be worth while.
Some Notes:
- I do love port, but I am far from an expert on the stuff - although this is a journey I would like to take in obtaining some nice vintages. I obtained a 2016 vintage last time I was there and have it in storage.
- Also a big fan of LBV
- Last time we visited we went to the Fonseca lodge.
- I have viewed the tasting notes database for an idea of what years to look out for.
- Suggested quintas to visit on our time in the Douro
- Suggested wine lodges to visit (focus on night LBV and Vintage, not so keen on Tawny)
- Location to buy port at a decent price.
- Always happy with restaurant suggestions!
- Always happy with bar suggestions!
