My Escapes Portugal Another Lovely Trip to Portugal! Vila Nova de Gaia Vila Nova de Gaia Wine Tasting [...]

Wine Tasting in Vila Nova de Gaia

Among Portugal's best assets and magnets for travelers are the Port Wines, produced in this area of the country - especially in the Douro Valley.
But my wine tasting brought me to the neighbouring city of Vila Nova de Gaia...

The wine I tasted was called Ruby. One with an alluring taste and a wonderful colour.

Ruby is recommended with cheese, fruits, nuts. It's an excellent after dinner drink. Slightly sweet.

I'm no wine expert, but I fell in love with this wine. 375 ml of it cost me 7.5 EUR and I took a small bottle with me back home. Thickly well-protected.

It is not among the most expensive wines...

I know it sounds strange, but prices of many other wines a lot higher.

After a few sips, the doris who sold me the wine seemed very charming, but the again... it might have been just the effect of the wine!

In no time I was back to take my cable car up to the bridge and walk back across to Porto...

But not before checking the old style boats on the river, then later on I satisfied my hunger with a tasty tuna salad eating in Porto.
