Porto
The Fladgate Partnership's World of Wine, which is scheduled to debut in the middle of 2020, is a hugely ambitious tourist endeavor that will feature five museums, nine restaurants and bars, a wine school, and other exhibition spaces inside Fladgate's former Port warehouses in Porto.
The activity intends to showcase Portugal's significance as a world leader in cork manufacturing as well as its historical prominence as a wine-producing nation. The history of drinking utensils will also be the focus of a separate wine-related museum, which plans to display a collection of hundreds of cups and chalices that date back thousands of years.
The greatest of that sweet, delicious port wine can be found in Porto, which has long been a popular destination for wine enthusiasts. However, this seaside community has more to offer than just vino. On Portugal's northwest coast, Porto (or Oporto), a charming European minimetropolis where visitors may enjoy both the outdoors and culture, is located.
You could explore the city for a few days or a week while learning about the modern art on display at the Serralves Foundation complex and the history of Porto's historic churches like the Sé and Igreja de So Francisco. Whatever you decide to see and do in this enthralling city, you'll come away with a sense of the variety of things Porto has to offer, some fantastic images, and, preferably, a bottle or two of its best wine.
