A series of exhibits reveal the stories of the families that built Cockburn's; their planting of vineyards in the Douro Valley and the making of legendary Ports that turned Cockburn's into a world-renowned producer.
Your visit continues through the working sections of the buildings where thousands of oak barrels and vats hold Cockburn's valuable stocks of maturing wines. At this point, you will pass through the longest aging gallery of any Port cellar in Vila Nova de Gaia.
