2/2 Week-end in Porto


Port wine (usually simply port) is a Portuguese fortified wine produced exclusively in the Douro Valley in the northern provinces of Portugal. It is typically a sweet, red wine, often served as a dessert wine though it also comes in dry, semi-dry, and white varieties. 
The House of Cálem - Founded in 1859, by António Alves Cálem, was dedicated only to wine exports to Brazil in exchange of exotic woods and by means of its own fleet. In fact, those activities are still remembered today through Porto Cálem brand logotype where a caravel stands for this proud history.




We had a great time and too soon it was time to fly back home...
