Your Experience
Museum first, cellar second, tasting third—Cálem turns the Douro story into something you can see, hear, smell, and finally taste.
Getting started
Check in at Cálem Cellars on Avenida Diogo Leite in Vila Nova de Gaia and present your voucher. Your ticket includes time in the interactive museum before the 30-minute cellar visit and tasting.
What to expect
Cálem Lodge port cellars
Cálem has done things differently since António Alves Cálem founded it in 1859 and began trading with Brazil rather than sticking to the usual British routes. That adventurous streak still shows in a visitor experience where old cellar traditions meet interactive technology.
Features:
-
The Douro, decoded: Maps, multimedia, aromas, and interactive exhibits turn the region’s geography and production story into something far easier to picture.
-
Then the real thing: Leave the screens behind for a 30-minute guided visit through Cálem’s historic cellar spaces and ageing traditions.
-
Three Cálem names: Fine White, Late Bottled Vintage, and 10-Year-Old Tawny are poured with the base option, while children receive juice.
-
Take it up a notch: Upgrade for an English-led museum visit and LBV, Vintage, and 20-Year-Old Tawny with cheese and chocolate pairings.
