# Porto Wine & Dine: Port Wine Cave Food Tour with Eating Europe

**Guidekin's take:** A food walk on the Gaia side of the river that pairs four Port tastings in the oldest cellar in the country with four food stops, francesinha, alheira and bacalhau among them, plus more wine and beer. It needs two guests and cannot take severe allergies. 4.98 from 356 reviews at €69 per person for 3h 30m.

**Best with food:** Four ports in Portugal's oldest cellar plus francesinha, alheira and bacalhau across Gaia's back streets: 4.98 from 356 reviews at €69 per person. Trade-off: Priciest here at €69 per person. (last checked August 10, 2026)

In our comparison: #1 of 12 in Port Wine Cellars, by rating weighted by review volume (table below).

## Overview

The 'other side of the river' is something heard every day in Porto, especially among locals. But likely few visitors know what lays beyond the wine caves along the riverside. 

On this tour, we showcase a non-touristy area full of homemade cuisine and alive with local culture. We'll walk through the winding, narrow streets of Gaia, visit the oldest winery in Portugal founded by King Joseph I and the Marques of Pombal, and discover both “classic” Porto food, such as the francesinha, as well as local secrets like alheira. Each tasting will be paired with local wine or beer.

While enjoying the stroll and tastings, you will learn about both Portuguese and regional history, not only from our guide but from the locals that adore to talk and share their experiences, all the while getting the best views over the city of Porto. 

Don't Miss - when visiting the oldest winery in Portugal you'll get to enter a secret wine cave with aging bottles of port wine that are hundreds of years old.
