The House of Sandeman is one of the most popular attractions in Porto. It has a magical component, which is probably linked to the Sandeman Don, the company’s enigmatic and inspirational icon created in 1928: this curious figure has a long black Portuguese cape and a Spanish hat that covers his face. The icon is stamped on all the company’s products.
During the tour, you’ll be guided through the winery by a person dressed up as the Sandeman Don, who will explain the secrets behind the production of this distinctly Portuguese wine. The tour will end with a Porto wine tasting, where visitors will enjoy two glasses of wine aided by an expert Sandeman sommelier.

If you’re not looking for fresh produce, you probably won’t purchase anything in the Market, however it's still well worth visiting and enjoying its nostalgic atmosphere.

Neighborhoods
City lifers will tell you that everyone in Porto should watch the sun rise at the Morro garden at least once in their lifetime. Time Out thinks the garden is great at any time of the day. Its view is, anyway. You can get there with the subway (Jardim do Morro stop) but crossing the upper deck of the Luiz I bridge on foot is an experience almost as gratifying as lying on the garden’s slopes.
