Adriano Ramos Pinto – Vinhos

A very good place to taste pretty wines and have a tour. They preserved their old sales office, so the tour starts there. Interesting stories about the history of the house and its founder who was very aggressive at marketing, e.g. using naked women in advertising. (In a catholic country…)
The wines tasted far better than the other port we had. Very friendlyv staff.
Tour plus wine tasting (2 glasses) is 6 Euro, a very good deal in my opinion.

Love this place. I visited a lot of the port houses/​caves and really liked this one. They have an option of just port tastings with no tour. If you’ve seen one tour, they’re very much similar– so let’s get to the port! You can also do just wine tastings too if you want something different.
The tasting area is very nice. Very lounge like and they have free wifi. Just ask for the code. So sit and relax. Also I recommend getting some munchies to go with your tasting! A waitress will come bring you your order and explain what you have. You will also be provide with little cards that explain each of your tastings and what would pair well with them. Very nice touch– no guessing involved! Of course the port here was good. :) the art on the walls was fun to look at too. Very vintage.
Great experience overall!

Of all the port wine houses we visited, this was our favorite. Loved the atmosphere in the lobby where you could choose the type of tasting you wanted to experience, from novice to expert with levels in between. Cost was adjusted accordingly. And the pours are legit with 5 nice samples.
They offer guided tours as well but I wanted to focus more on the tasting experience. So much wine, so little time…
Highly recommended.

Had a great tour and tasting at Ramos Pinto. Their selections were definitely leaps and bounds better than the other port house we visited, Calem, whose wines were all horridly sweet.
If you actually want to pick up a bottle of Ramos Pinto I think that the port house here in VN Gaia will give you a great value without trying too hard. We scoured the garrafeira’s in Porto looking for the ones we wanted at a price that could beat the tasting room prices and came up short. (Maybe just cause we’re dumb tourists, but hey.)
Additionally, the story of Adriano Ramos Pinto and how he started the business was really fun. He was a real pimp and a great businessman. I am sure he is watching the company now even from above.
