Port wine flight · Porto
A side-by-side tasting of white, ruby, tawny and vintage port from a Vila Nova de Gaia lodge: the wine flight that defines a Porto afternoon across the Douro.
Port wine has been made along the Douro since the 17th century, but the modern industry dates to the 1703 Methuen Treaty that opened the British market. British merchants set up cellars in Vila Nova de Gaia from 1710, and the Douro Valley was demarcated in 1756, the first protected wine region in the world. The flight, a comparative tasting of white, ruby, tawny and vintage styles, is the standard format at every Gaia lodge.
