Quinta de Santa Julia port winery

We visited two wineries in Porto. Our first very passionate expert told us everything we needed to know about port wine but we were very thirsty by this stage as it was 35+ degrees so all we could concentrate on was the tasting.

We had a United Nations lunch with a Scottish couple, and American / Indian couple, two American girls, us Aussies and the Portuguese free flowing wine. Lunch was a traditional Portuguese farmer’s pork pasta and a vego alternative. Great company, lovely food, great wine and beautiful gardens and views.
