LOCATIONS

from the Port Episode


PORTO

Porto is the city that's where the aging and cellaring of Port wine takes place. More importantly, it's such a great town to visit because it's just big enough to keep one entertained, but small enough to navigate. Amazing restaurants, bars, and of course, all the Port houses to visit!

Palacio da Bolsa in porto

PALÁCIO DA BOLSA

The stunning building you see me in while touring Porto? It's the old stock exchange, the Palácio da Bolsa! This neoclassical 19th century building is worth a stop!

FRANCESINHAS DA BAIXA

It's no trip to Porto without trying their famous sandwich, the Francesinha! Sausage or chorizo or sliced meat between bread, with cheese, beer gravy, and an egg on top - come hungry! We found a great one at Francesinhas Da Baixa.

DOURO VALLEY

The grapes for Port are grown about an hour and a half inland in the Douro Valley, which is one of the most breathtaking wine regions I've ever seen. There are plenty of wine cellars to visit here as well!
