Greetings!
I'd like to book a tour and tasting at one of the cellars in Vila Nova de Gaia. There are just too many choices! Can anyone recommend which one would be the best? I can't seem to decide whether it's better to visit one of the big producers or to go for a smaller one. We are spending 2 days in Porto and 1 day in the Douro Valley (vising Quinta do Seixo and Quinta do Marrocos). We are not huge drinks and becuase the visit will be during the day time, it's more for educational/historical purposes with a little tasting (don't want anyone to fall asleep and miss everything else we want to do in Porto ;)
But I am interested in the traditional method of opening the bottles with hot tongs. I have no idea if all cellars offer this. Also, I have no idea how much it would cost. As long as it's not crazy expensive, then I think it would be interesting for us to see it done.
If anyone has any suggestions or commnets regarding costs, I'd really appreciate it.
Thank you!
