What was advertised as a 2 hour introduction to 6 different Portuguese wines & tapas turned into a 5 hour experience of 7 different wines & 3 Ports, accompanied by special Portuguese cheese, pastries & meats. Although it seemed a little expensive initially at €65 per person, the whole experience was thoroughly worth while.”
