Graham's Port Lodge

The historic Graham’s Lodge was built in 1890 on a hill in Vila Nova de Gaia, offering spectacular views over the Douro River, the center of Porto, and the Dom Luís I Bridge.

Renovated in 2013 by the Symington family, it maintains its original features and remains fully operational. The building houses over 3,200 pipes, 40 balseiros (large oak vats), and extensive cellars of Vintage Port wine. The thick granite walls and maritime climate ensure the ideal temperature for aging the wine.
