Fonseca cellar visit, fado and dinner

A four-hour Gaia evening: cellar visit, two ports with live fado and a three-course dinner, from €56.

What the evening is

This is a port cellar evening with fado in it, not a concert. It starts at the Fonseca cellars at Rua do Choupelo 54 with a guided visit, followed by a tasting of two ports, Bin 27 and Siroco, during which the fado is performed. Dinner comes afterwards at a restaurant in the neighbouring WOW complex: vegetable cream soup, sea bass and crème brûlée, with wine, water and coffee. The whole thing takes four hours.

The catalogue does not say how long the fado itself lasts, so treat it as one part of the night. Fonseca's own announcement of the programme, from 2023, mentions a limit of 40 people a night; the catalogue lists a maximum of 10. It has 46 reviews and a score of 9.2.
