About: Cockburn's Port Lodge
Cockburn's has always questioned the so-called ‘rules’ for making port. Back in 1815, Robert and John Cockburn, two brothers from Scotland, bypassed the stuffy merchant’s fair in Porto and bought the very best grapes directly from farmers upriver in the Douro.
The Cockburn’s Lodge in the center of historic Vila Nova de Gaia still ages ports in oak vats made by some of the last in-house coopers in the region.
The result every time of this non-conformist approach is a better port for everyone. Because, as our founder demanded: “The quality of the wine – that is the first thing to be looked to.” It’s ultimately why they make the port; for drinking pleasure.
Standing tall in the heart of Porto, the Torre dos Clérigos is a magnificent Baroque bell tower that offers panoramic views of the historic city. Climb its spiraling staircase and admire the intricate craftsmanship of its architecture, adorned with ornate details and statues.
Reaching the top, you'll be rewarded with a breathtaking vista of Porto's red-tiled rooftops, the Douro River, and the iconic Dom Luís I Bridge.
