Port Cellars
Taylor’s, now in its fourth century, recently renovated its 300 year old Cellars to incorporate a modern and innovative museum circuit. The story of Port wine and Taylor’s is now told through an extensive audio-guided visit, available in 13 languages, (English, Portuguese, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Danish, Mandarin, Dutch, Polish, Korean and Russian) which will take you on a vivid tour of the Lodge that includes an array of films, images, exhibits, photographs and paintings.
The visitor is given the opportunity to journey into the past and learn about the history of Port wine and its production today, the Douro Valley and the house of Taylor’s, its past, present and its wealth of exceptional Ports.
In addition to the three wines included on the tour - Taylor's Chip Dry, Taylor's Late Bottled Vintage (LBV) and 10-Year-Old Tawny, there is a range of Port tastings for our visitors to enjoy including a choice of many different aged Tawny Ports, or one of Taylor’s classic Vintage Ports.
