The weather was not too kind to us, but spirits were not damped and we had great fun.
The scenery was amazing and the huge locks through which we passed were very impressive.
We sampled white, ruby and tawny ports at the Burmester and Sandeman wine cellars and learned about their production methods.
Along the way we visited Porto, Salamanca and other historic towns and villages including the Mateus Palace, home of the famous rosé wine.
