Located in cellars with centuries of history, the Fonseca Experience allows visitors to discover the uniqueness of the Douro Valley, the role Fonseca has played in sustainable viticulture, and also learn how Port wine is made.
Quinta do Panascal offers an educational tour with direct contact with the vineyards. In the tasting room, visitors can enjoy a beautiful landscape and a guided tasting of Port wines.
