Caption: I spent 3 days in Porto in August of 2014. It's an incredible city to visit - the people are friendly, the food is delicious, the weather is fantastic, and the Port requires me to make an entirely separate Story.

Caption: Touring a Port Lodge is a must while visiting Porto. We did so at Graham's and were not disappointed. This was also possibly the finest of all the Port wines we tasted (and we tasted PLENTY) - I'll likely do a separate album with all the Port tasting photos, but thought it would be a miss not to mention it here, as it's such a big part of the city. Graham's is also a gorgeous lodge. It's a hike to get to, but worth it just to take in the breeze in the hills and relax. The next page is the view from Graham's overlooking the Douro.
