Porto: Cálem Cellar Tour, Fado Show & Wine Tasting

1.Porto: Cálem Cellar Tour, Fado Show & Wine Tasting

★★★★★★★★★★4.4 · 3,530 reviews · 1h 15m · from $33Our pick

Visit Cálem in Vila Nova de Gaia for a 30-minute English tour of its port cellars, followed by two tastings and a 45-minute Fado performance. You’ll hear male and female singers with Portuguese and classical guitars. English visits begin at 6:00 PM from November to March and 6:30 PM from April to October.

“the tour was good, but as we were a large group in a confined space it wasn't always easy to see the guide and what was being explained to us. The Fado show was excellent though, thought the singers were brilliant and the glasses of port were very nice.”

Board the three-deck Sandie Cat at Sunset Watersports for a two-hour Key West sunset sail. Captain Anna and the crew set the pace while live music, an open well bar, champagne, and light appetizers keep the evening moving. Expect a social boat ride, not a full dinner or adults-only cruise.

“Great cruise. The food is meager so you are not going to make a meal of it. However the drinks were flowing good!!”

3.Porto: Cálem Cellar Tour, Live Fado Show and Wine Tasting

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 295 reviews · 1 hour 15 minutes (approx.) · from $33

Meet at Cálem in Vila Nova de Gaia at 5:45 pm for a 30-minute cellar and museum visit, followed by 45 minutes of live fado with two port tastings. An English or multilingual guide explains the basics before singers and Portuguese guitarists perform.

“The tour and the Fado experience performers were exceptional. Unfortunately, there were a group of females at a table next to us during the Fado experience who ignored the announcement to not use flash in their cameras. They talked loudly throughout the performance and were in their cellphones with lighted screens. They also used flash on their cameras. It was extremely disrespectful and distracting. We reported it to one of the workers during the performance and no attempt was made on behalf of management to ask them to be respectful to the performers and fellow guests. That was disappointing and unacceptable.”

“We loved the tour, bikes were very fun and a great way to see the city. Hosts were friendly and the food was delicious. The hosts put a little too much emphasis on the need for us to give a positive review and this was a little over the top as it was repeated throughout the tour. The hosts were fantastic but perhaps the manager could put less pressure on them for reviews?”

Racine and Sacbe led us on an amazing journey through the mountains of Cubelete, Sacbe serenading us along the way. Our horses Remy and Jorge were gentle giants and perfect for my husband and I.
