Cockburn’s Cellar: Visit & Wine Tasting

About this experience

A visit to Cockburn's Port Lodge is an experience to remember. Not least because of the quality of the port, you’ll be tasting there, but because it’s a real working lodge where you will be near thousands of oak barrels as well as vats filled with patiently ageing port.

You'll enjoy a shared visit and tasting of a few Ports. Experience the aroma of the noblest wines & get a close look at the daily routine of a wine cellar full of life.

You’re also likely to bump into some of the people who are responsible for making it, work like a team of in-house coopers – one of the last in the port trade.
