Discover the Sandeman Cellars in Vila Nova de Gaia
The Sandeman Cellars, located in the picturesque Vila Nova de Gaia, Portugal, are a treasure for wine and history enthusiasts. Founded in 1790 by George Sandeman, a young Scotsman, these cellars stand out in the production of Porto and Douro wines, combining tradition and innovation. Sandeman's legacy is marked by its iconic logo, the "Don", an enigmatic figure dressed in a Portuguese cape and a Spanish hat from Jerez, created in 1928 by George Massiot Brown.
The Experience in the Cellars
Visiting the Sandeman Cellars is an educational and sensory journey. Visitors are invited to explore the historic wine cellars, where old barrels and casks line up in a unique setting. The experience includes a tour of the cellars, where one learns about the aging and production process of Porto wine, culminating in a tasting session that offers a selection of the house's finest wines.
In addition, Sandeman organizes educational programs and thematic events, making it an enriching destination for those looking to deepen their knowledge of Portuguese wine tradition. Its strategic location in Vila Nova de Gaia, with spectacular views of the Douro River and the city of Porto, adds even more charm to this must-visit.
