Oporto, Portugal is awash with Port. Here we are trying to sample directly from the barrel at "Taylors" winery. Oporto has many good port making wineries located on the river opposite the old city.Port itself is an English idea brought to Oporto in 1715 and perfected by the locals and traded ever since. Port is made from local red grape varieties that Australia does not produce.
Oporto itself (pop 300,00) is a very old city, classic but VERY run-down and is built on a two very steep slopes coming down to a river - Paul and I have named it the "El Fiord Town" because it is so steep.
