Cálem Winery Guided Tour in Porto

What's included in the Cálem winery tour

The tour is led by a Spanish-speaking guide and combines the interactive museum with the areas where the wines are stored. The final part is dedicated to tasting. There are several options, from an introduction featuring two wines to options with three wines paired with chocolate and cheese.

Duration, language and accessibility

The tour lasts one hour and is offered with a Spanish-speaking guide. The winery is equipped to welcome visitors with reduced mobility, but this must be specified when booking. Accessible toilets are also available.

Is this activity suitable for families?

Children do not take part in the wine tasting. The listing includes juice for children aged 6 to 17, so families can take part, although the experience focuses clearly on the history and culture of wine. If you are travelling with young children, consider whether an hour in a museum and winery will suit their interests.

Tips for choosing an option

• Check exactly how many wines and which pairings are included in your option.
• Book in advance if you need a specific time with a Spanish-speaking guide.
• Don't mistake the tour for a lunch or dinner: it's an experience lasting around an hour.
• Specify any accessibility requirements during the booking process.
• Check the age restrictions for tastings.

Cálem or a day trip to the Douro Valley

Cálem is a better fit for a short stay because it's in Gaia and takes little time. The Douro Valley offers vineyards, scenery, boat trips and several wineries, but takes up practically the whole day. You can also combine both if wine tourism is an important part of your trip.

How to fit it into your visit to Porto

You can combine the winery with a walk along the Ribeira, crossing the Dom Luís I Bridge, a viewpoint in Gaia or the Porto Six Bridges Cruise. Leave some time between bookings, especially if you need to walk from the historic centre along steep streets.
