Quinta da Foz
Posted: 12:33 Sat 09 Oct 2010
Located on the West bank of the Pinhão river, where it meets the Douro (hence its name), Foz has a visitors’ centre which is open from around 10 to 3. You get a little guided tour of the wine-making facilities and the cellars before a tasting. Oddly, the only thing they seem to be interested in is their table-wines: Cálem was only mentioned a couple of times and they gave no indication that Foz is one of the classic Port vineyards. The tasting therefore is therefore their white, rosé, and three red table wines. The cost of the tour is €5 but this is redeemable against any purchases in the shop. It therefore makes sense to pick up a bottle of their glugable Mutante for €12 if there are two of you!
