What to expect

The Museum of the World's Oldest Appellation showcases, through its exhibit, the history of Real Companhia Velha and its bond with Port Wine, raising it to an emblematic status within this region.

Your journey through the permanent exhibit offers a glimpse into a fraction of Real Companhia Velha's vast collection. The exhibit is cleverly divided into seven interconnected sections, each emphasising the significance of Real Companhia Velha. Their work has been instrumental in shaping the world's oldest Appellation. The current display delves into several key themes from the Company's past. This wealth of knowledge, deeply rooted in both national and local history, is communicated not only through the myriad of artefacts on show but also via multimedia and interactive tools that encourage visitor engagement with the presented themes.

You can choose between:

  • Option 1: access to the permanent exhibition
  • Option 2: Porto Experience (access to permanent exhibition, followed by a 2 Port wine tasting)
  • Option 3: Enoteca Experience (access to permanent exhibition, followed by a 4 Port wine tasting)
  • Option 4: Classic tasting (access to the tasting room + tasting of 2 Port wines)
  • Option 5: Premium tasting (access to the tasting room + tasting of 3 Port wines)
  • Option 6: Founders Tasting (access to the tasting room + tasting of 3 Port wines)
