I visited Burmester's cellars month ago, and I can definitely recommend a visit! Excellent and informative tour (I forgot the name of the guide...) in English. Full of interesting information, including answers to inquiries. The visit ended with excellent Port wine testing, and of course with the purchase of Burmester wines.

Nice guided tour through the cellar, with explanation about the different types of Porto wine. Taste of some of the types at the end. Very good. We enjoyed the visit. We bough the ticket with the grey line company (blue buses) included the bus with the city tour for 2 days, the wine cellar tickets and the cruise, less than 30 euros each. Convenient
Took the guided tour in English, a nice story teller guide who was taking us along, Had 3 amazing wine for tasting .. took the combo ticket along with the river cruise .. was totally worth the time and the money spent
It's an okay tour .. the wine pours are generous and they let you take your time to sample and finish. Though the tour itself feels mechanical, is rather short, and the cellars themselves, while historical and beautiful, aren't all that well maintained and you only walk a tiny portion of their overall area. The tour guides are skilled in multiple languages but don't care to distinguish between guests who are new to port, and those that are knowledgeable and want to learn the nuances. Therefore when asking questions, the replies you get sound like those off the website's FAQ section. 16 for the 3 wine tasting with chocolate pairing (gimmick, the chocolate was of average quality) tour.
Great tour and very informative. Our guide Henrick was really funny and kept us interested throughout the tour. Tours are done in various languages, so do check which one you prefer. We had a 16 ticket that included tour, 3 port tastings and 2 chocolates. The 12 ticket includes tour and 2 wines to taste. Definitely worth the money! Never tried or knew anything about port and came out with new knowledge and a bottle of port that I really liked.
Tour guide was engaged, but all you get to see is a map, a foto of the wineyards and a few wine barrels. During the tasting the pours are generous.
Went for the 12 tour which includes the guided walk through the cellar and a tasting of 1 white port wine and 1 red port wine. Great for an introduction to port, why it's special and unique to Porto, and a bit of the history of the area. Wish we could have chosen the types of port wine that we would be tasting, but these have already been pre-selected and set out for us. Down the road there are many dining places that provide a 5 for a tasting of 5 different ports, including those from Burmester.
Very happy with the tour, Stefanie was a wonderful guide and helped our education about Port wines. I enjoyed this flavors maybe better than several other brands. I recommend this visit
