WINE & SPIRITS

JUNE 2021

Why Porto? Its center, girded by a 14thcentury wall, is a
UNESCO World Heritage Site. The wines
from upriver on the
Douro, from the hills
of Vinho Verde and
the coast of Bairrada,
fill the tascas in town.
And the beaches of
Matosinhos are just
a metro ride away-
where you can surf
in the morning, then
dine on fresh seafood
from the cold Atlantic
at the local restaurants-don't miss the
percebes (goose barnacles) at O Gaveto.
