We went here as part of a wine tasting tour through Douro valley and tried a few of their port wines. The tasting was really good, the lady who guided us through the wines was really friendly and forthcoming and explained everything to us, starting with the history of the winery, how the different port wine families differ and what makes them different and stand out. The wines were really good as well and we were never forced into buying anything! Nevertheless we got two small bottles in the end, cause it was really good and we wanted to support a business like this, especially in times like these. Would recommend this winery 100%!

We were advised to visit Lamego by our host Margarida at Casa de Romezal in Peso De Regua - it isn't far, and the views of the Douro and vines on th way are excellent - we wanted to visit the Cathedral but were told it was closed due to a robbery, so we came here instead - excellent museum, well presented, and well worth a visit - some beautiful relics, tiles, paintings and some incredible 16th century Flemish tapestries depicting scenes from Sophocles Oedipus

Built some 8 centuries ago, this is a beautiful place to visit. In the heart of Lamego, it is amazing to consider how long ago this place was stood here. Be quiet as you look through.
