About

Proudly situated across the Douro River, looking toward the UNESCO-classified historic center of Porto, the House of Sandeman invites you to an experience full of mystery and seduction. The setting balances a traditional yet cosmopolitan atmosphere, offering visitors a unique journey through the world of Port and Sherry wines. Established in 1790, Sandeman is renowned for its rich history and innovative advertising. The cellars in Vila Nova de Gaia feature extensive rows of wooden vats and casks where the famous Sandeman Porto wines age. Guided tours, led by a guide dressed as the iconic Sandeman Don, provide insights into the brand's heritage. The tours often conclude with tastings of various Port wines, including the award-winning Sandeman Tawny 10, 20, 30, and 40 Years Old. Additionally, the Sandeman Terrace offers breathtaking views of Porto's Ribeira district, making it a perfect spot to enjoy a glass of Port wine while soaking in the vibrant ambiance.
