Museums and Palaces

The World of Wine is a complex that houses several experiences in the so-called Wine Quarter, in the city of Porto. It consists of 7 museums, 12 restaurant, bar and café spaces, a "wine school", multiple shops, an exhibition hall and an event space.

Located in Vila Nova de Gaia, on the south bank of the River Douro, overlooking the Ribeira of Porto (Porto’s Riverside) and the Luís I Bridge, the project started with the restoration of old port wine cellars and aims to convey the history and feeling associated with winemaking in its many forms.

There are seven themed museums: the Wine Experience, which aims to demystify wine; the Porto Region Across the Ages reveals the history and heritage of the Invicta city; Planet Cork unveils the world of cork; the Chocolate Story reveals the world of cocoa; the Bridge Collection traces the chronology of the glass as an object; the Porto Fashion and Fabric Museum showcases Portuguese fashion; and the Pink Palace, the most recent, immerses visitors in the concept of rosé wine.

At the Wine School you can also attend classes and workshops related to the themes of the museums at the World of Wine.
