This event at Caves Cálem presents an opportunity to engage with two significant aspects of Porto's cultural identity: Fado music and Port wine. The program is organized by Caves Cálem, a well-known Port wine producer with a long history in the region. It aims to provide an integrated experience, combining an educational tour of their cellars with a live musical performance and a tasting session.
Attendees will embark on a guided exploration of the Cálem cellars, learning about the production and aging processes of Port wine. Following the tour, a tasting of selected Port wines will be offered. The experience culminates with a live Fado performance, a traditional Portuguese musical genre recognized for its expressive vocal delivery and melancholic themes. The event takes place within the historic setting of Caves Cálem, offering an atmospheric backdrop for both the tasting and the music. The duration of the event is approximately two hours.
The event runs daily from September 3rd to September 9th, 2026. Tickets can be purchased in advance through the venue's website. Caves Cálem is located in Vila Nova de Gaia, on the south bank of the Douro River, and is accessible by walking across the Dom Luís I Bridge from Porto's Ribeira district.
