Panascal's educational audio-tour allows guests to wander
independently through vineyards dramatically situated atop rolling
hills overlooking Távora River and the "lagares" (traditional
granite tanks).
This self-guided audio-tour allows visitors in their own time to
visit the vineyards and is available in 9 languages - Portuguese,
English, French, Spanish, German, Italian, Dutch, Danish and
Japanese.
The audio tour is combined with a choice of 4 tastings:
Classic: Siroco, Bin Nº27, Tawny 10 Year Old - €10
Vintage: Siroco, Bin Nº27, Tawny 10 Year Old, Guimaraens Vintage - €20
Delight: Siroco, Bin Nº27, Terra Prima, 10 Year Old Tawny, Guimaraens Vintage - €25

Year Old Tawny, Guimaraens Vintage - €35
Our visitors' centre also offers a variety of Ports
by the glass including old Tawnies and the first fully certified
organic Port so you can discover the diversity of Port Wine. You can
also ask for a refreshing "Siroptimo" (Siroco and tonic) or, should you
prefer, reserve a tailor-made tasting including some excellent Fonseca
Vintages.
During the grape-harvesting season, visitors can enjoy the unique
experience of watching grape treading in the "lagares", where
Fonseca Port wine is still produced in the traditional way.
We also have a small wine shop where the full range of Fonseca's
Ports may be purchased.
