About the host

Step into the world of Sandeman, one of the most iconic names in Porto Wine, where over two centuries of winemaking tradition come to life. Nestled within a grand, historic cellar, visitors are invited on a captivating journey guided by the mysterious figure of The Don—Sandeman’s legendary mascot. From the immersive Sandeman Hall, which transports guests to the brand’s London roots in the 1790s, to interactive exhibits that showcase its bold early marketing, every corner tells a story of innovation, heritage, and passion for wine.

A highlight for wine lovers and history buffs alike, the Sandeman Antique Bottle Collection features some of Europe’s rarest bottles, tracing the evolution of English glasswork from the 17th century onward. These beautifully preserved pieces not only reflect the history of wine storage but also the craftsmanship that shaped the industry. Whether you’re fascinated by branding, bottle design, or simply the allure of fine wine, a visit to the Sandeman cellars promises a rich and unforgettable experience in the heart of Porto.

Great tour. A ton of history and information. The wine cellar is unique. And, of course, the tastings at the end.
