Port has amazingly been produced for centuries and is one of the world's FIRST non-perishable wines! In this episode, Vince explores the history of Port as well as the stunning landscape of the Douro Valley where Port grapes are grown and harvested. From there, a visit to the port houses in the bustling and beautiful city of Porto is in order. Vince also learns why this unique wine is so versatile: it can be used in cocktails, drunk at casual weeknight gatherings, or saved for some pretty special occasions - one specifically that renders Vince speechless!

How on earth do you only have 14K subs!?! Top tier production and scripts. Amazing display of the wines and people behind them. Thanks for all the shows!
Thanks so much! We’re growing quickly, so hopefully many more soon!
OMGGGG my thoughts exactly! I was floored within the first 30s of the video just based on production quality and content!
Agreed! I just found this channel and the production is just soooo good. Keep up the good work, I just subbed.
It wont take him long. He's got what it takes to get 300000 subs in a year
Couldn't agree more. Incredible production and the scripts are fantastic. Keep it up!
Disclaimer: I am Portuguese; a totally biased one. So in order to keep it bareable for those reading this,I will avoid talking about the wines, except for this one mention:
I was really happy for you when that 1863 bottle came up, someone like you totally deserves it.
A very special episode with the high quality content and technical acumen we are by now used to. Keep going, it is just a matter of time until you get the number of views and subscribers you and your team deserve.
Thank you again for the amazing words. Means a lot coming from someone whose home country we do our best to represent! I was just glad to experience that special moment with the team as well; having it alone on my couch would have been nice, but it’s always better to have a memory with others too! So honored to have you as a fan!
We really need to help this channel to keep bringing us amazing videos like this one. Thanks guys 👍🏼
Thanks for the love Manuel! We’re growing quickly, so hopefully we’re in the right track!
I love port. Every kind. Before dinner. With dinner. After dinner. Young vintages, old vintages. Great video.
Thanks Carl!
Man! What an incredible documentary. You must do a clip only with that 1863 tasting. Tittle it "Tasting a 1863 Port" or something like that and you will hit 1M views.
Thank you! 100% am doing that in the next few weeks, good call!
1863 !! WOW he sharing it with you says a lot about him , like the wine no words to describe it , BLESSED .
Agreed, really special!
I would have been moved to tears drinking that 1863 vintage 😯
It was hard to keep it together for the camera!! 😂
Why do seasons have to end?! Amazing season. Think I'm already on my 3rd watch through, the production value is top tier. Proud of you guys, really knocked it out of the park with this one. I might just sneak into your luggage your next trip...YOU CANT STOP ME!
Haha aww thank you!! Don’t worry, we start filming season 5 next month!
I am back10 days, and I think I did. Wonderful quality of our video. It kept getting better for me the longer I watched.
Thank you!!!
I'm a CMS certified somm and I'm just coming here to verify that this guy knows his shit. He's probably at a higher level in the Court than I am and was just too modest to say it. If you're just finding this, as I am, stick around and listen - this is the best equivalent to professional-level training you can possibly get for practically free. This is everything I would want a show I'd produced to be, but done better and with more production value than I could ever manage. Congratulations on your achievement, sir. I'll be supporting and sharing.
I get a lot of nice comments, but this is one of my favorites. Thanks for capturing the "core" of what we're trying to do! I started V is for Vino to provide the education that I wanted when I was studying for my exams, and I'm so happy it's resonating!
Thank you so much for the content - studying for sommelier exam and your content is much richer than most! Signed up for the club to support you.
Thanks so much for the support!
1863 Port! I got chills and had baby tears in my eyes! You guys keep changing my bucket list of places to go!
Awww. It was a magical moment for sure!
I only now found about your channel and I was so surprised with the quality of it. I can't understand how you don't have well above 100k subscribers. It's insane!! Also this episode really hit me in the feelings. as a young boy I used to go spend the holidays in the north of Portugal and always went through the douro valley and all my family is from that region. When you're in the river and look up to all those vineyards shooting up in the direction of the sky and think how was that possible to be made is something you'll never forget. And when older you get to try those wines and think about the place and people is even more special. Congrats on a great episode and a wonderful channel, hope it keeps growing so you can keep doing this and visit other beautiful places.
Jorge, so happy to have you on board! Yes, it's really such a magical place, and I'm so happy you also got to experience it. Thanks for the encouragement, it really helps keep us going!
This was the first episode that got me hooked to the other episodes and put Porto on my travel list.
So glad! Porto really is an amazing town, I hope you get to visit!
The Lodges were on the south side of the river because the taxes to be paid in Porto, on the North side of the Douro were extremely high. So they built the Lodges on the south side, where taxes were much lower.
Opening that bottle 1863 was an absolute show stopper. This was a truly special episode. I will be in Douro soon, hoping to make memories of my own 💍 🤫😉
Oh man!!! Good luck!!!!
Yes, what an astounding privilege you had ! Congratulations , Vince. 🎉They obviously could tell you were a connoisseur!
Your footage is absolute topnotch, a businesscard for Portugal. I enjoyed this episode very much. I have visited Vila Nova di Gaia and (of course) Porto. I had a tour at Taylor's. Their LBV is one of my favourite daily ports, next to Graham's 10 years old tawny en Quinta da Romaneiro LBV. It's a pity port sells less good these days, so portmakers shifted for a part to red wines. They are usually very good and interesting. To be honest, I did not have any bad experiences with Portugese wines in the last five to ten years.
It’s a really misunderstood wine, and I’m glad we were able to shed some light on it!
Hey Vince - I loved this episode! I am going to watch it for the 3rd time tonight with my wife (it will be her first time). I have a bottle of Sandeman's Fine Tawny Port to enjoy while watching! I enjoy being a V is for Vino VIP!😀
You’re the best!!!
Great video. I've been to Porto many times. I think it's the most beautiful city on earth. I'm going back again this year hopefully. I really like Port and the table wines of Portugal. I recently started getting into sherry. Have you done a video in Jerez? I'd love to hear your thoughts on sherry.
Oh man, I LOVE sherry, and have been trying to make an episode there for some time. Such a misunderstood and versatile wine. Hope to get there someday soon!
Wonderful documentary. Thanks to all for taking the time to make this.
Thanks for watching!
Excellent video on port! Recently visited Porto and just learned about the process, types and history of this glorious wine. Your content captured the information in a great way in addition to giving lots of background to making the drink accessible. Great job!
So happy you enjoyed, thank you!
Found this because I'm heading to Porto in September for the first time (grew up in US, live in London). Can't wait to try out all the lovely wines/ports that will be there. Thanks for sharing all of this.
So excited for you, it's such a great town . It's an awesome food town too!
Found this because I’ve just toured northern Portugal for 2 weeks with college friends. We loved Porto and the Douro Valley, Braga and all that northern region of vineyards, stopping at Quinta do Seixo of Sandeman and the Mateus & Sequeira Wine and Tapas tasting room right on the river.
I'm not a big wine drinker, but I loved this episode. Absolutely superb!
Thank you, glad you enjoyed!
I'd like to say that I couldn't stop smiling watching both videos from Portugal. I am portuguese and is very heartwarming seeing you just appreciating our history and tradition so much, as well as the respect you show with your production and commentaries. Thank you for sharing this!
Thank you so much! The Portuguese people truly are some of the most kind, welcoming people I've ever met! Thank you for watching!
Incredible! Cried when you guys opened that 1863 Ferreira Porto ❤
It was a magical experience!
Incredible video. Thank you. I had tears in my eyes a few times. So excited to go to Portugal next month!
So happy for you, you're going to have a blast!
I so enjoyed this episode, totally emotional with the 1863 Port, well done, congratulations on your amazing palate and knowledge base.
Thank you, it was a magical experience!
I am from Portugal (Porto) so this one really hit me in the right spot! Keep up the good work!
Thanks Jose!
@@visforvino
U welcome. I have some old Port beauties as well. Where are u located in the US? I live in Los Angeles.
Your shows are by far the best wine shows on UA-cam. I can't wait for the next season.
Laddie, always good to see you pop up in the comments. Thank you!!
A 1863 port wine is the Holy Grail.
You can put a price to it. But the truth is that it is priceless. An experience like no other. A privilege. And, in a way, a reminder that we are here for a short time and somethings will outlast us and it it is a good thing to leave them for generations to come.
100% agree. Priceless! I was very lucky!
Just on time!! Just past my WSET2 exam and staying in Villa Nova de Gaia for another week
perfect! Enjoy it; the restaurant scene it Porto is incredible
Your series of wine travel videos is straight up magic. I can't get enough.
Yes!!! Thanks so much!!
In my bucket list of 5 as the #1 place to visit. Thank you for the briefing on port categories. I kept hearing the words spice and pepper notes - music to my ears! What an enjoyable episode for us and experience for you and your team. 🙏🏼
The wines were so much more spicy they I thought! And I hope you get there asap! What’s #1?
@@visforvino Portugal 🇵🇹
I usually prefer Sherry over Port, but Port is amazing. I've tasted a 118 YO Tawny (barrel sample of vintage 1900) and 1964 white Port. This was simply out of this world.
Wow, 1900. Wild!
@@visforvino Yeah. It looked like a liquid chocolate. By the way, I admire the quality of your videos!
Great video!
I had a glass of port while I enjoyed watching your video.
Glad you enjoyed it!!
Awesome production value ! Massively enjoyed this…Thanks…
Of course, thank you!
I love your videos, this one pulls at the heart strings at the outro too! Thanks as always Vince for the great content.
Thanks for noticing! I really enjoy writing and contracting the outros. It’s my favorite part of editing!
I wish I had seen this before a college girlfriend and I knocked off a whole bottle of Portuguese Niepoort 20-year-old port which had been in my husband’s collection for over ten years at that time. He was away for work and we decided to just swig it while making dinner. 😂 I never confessed when he later wondered what happened to that bottle. 😅
Haha I’m sure the hangover from that much sugar was punishment enough
Amazing production, I just fell in love with Portugal, it is now on my list for trips next year
Thanks António. It’s definitely worth the trip!
so lovely, I must go and try on my upcoming trip to porto .thanks
First time watching your video. Awesome show, it's like a documentary, but better!

This was great video to watch and so much info to know before my upcoming visit to Porto 🍷. Thanks for sharing your talent.
Glad it was helpful!
Wonderful video! I had so much port and tonic in Portugal and have such fond memories. Currently drinking Sandeman Founders Reserve and looking forward to trying more ports!
Nice! That Founders Reserve is a killer deal!
Just extraordinary Vince - you keep getting better! Thank you
Thank you Tom!
Amazing episode. Didn’t know anything about port. Ver y insightful, but then again, all your episodes are. Thanks!
I didn't know a ton either before the episode, I learned so much too!
This was beautiful!
Fantastic dear Friend
....superb awesome so nice video.
Have a blessed time! Love ♥
Love this episode! I’m not very familiar with Port so I definitely learned a lot! Vince is great at being informative while being entertaining!
I wasn't either until I researched the episode; I have a new appreciation for the wine!
Amazing video! I have a port testning tommorow and got alot from watching this, thank you so much for your work!
Good luck on the test, so glad the video helped!
So glad I found this channel. Astounding production and videos! You make wine so approachable. I would not think twice if this were a program on Food network or PBS. Keep it up, will definitely be along for the ride!
Wow, thank you for the kind words! Happy to have you!
We always wait for your next videos sir thank you for sharing outstanding knowledgeable video keep sharing your experience we always love to watch your videos.
Thank you!! More to come!!
Your show is quickly becoming my favourite wine show. Such an amazing episode!
😍😍😍😍
Wow, 1863! I will be in Porto in November and lucky me to came across your vid. I don’t drink but I enjoyed your vid tremendously ❤
Enjoy Porto!
1 hour passes by like this... Top quality production!
Much appreciated!
We have traveled to Portugal twice and spent some time in the Douro Valley, it is an off the chart experience. To see in person the steep vineyards is hard to imagine how much work is involved just to maintain and harvest, but to think about the labor to plant and terrace the “hills” is mind blowing. We found the food, the people and the wine an unforgettable experience and hope to go back again. Thanks Vince and your crew, it was a great episode.
Thanks Michael! It was a my second time there as well, and I would go again! It's a great city, affordable, and full of wonderful people. And yes, I don't even want to imagine how challenging it was to harvest those hills before machine assistance!
Vila Nova de Gaia is not simplistically "an area south of downtown Porto", it's a city and county completely independent from Porto.
What a quality content! I just found you guys looking for vineyard places of Portugal. God bless! Greets from Brazil!
Hello! I have so many who reach out from Brazil, I hope to visit soon!
Seriously amazing channel, such high production value. And so informative.
Thank you!!!
I just found this channel and I’m very impressed with the quality of the videos! Also I love wine!!!
Thanks Bradley, so happy to have you!
@@visforvino thank you!🙌
its good to see that wine content is getting better and younger. This one is truly amazing.
Thank you!
This is very well done. Thanks for showing love to Portuguese wine. It deserves much more recognition as most is excellent. It's incredible that you got to try an 1863 port. 🤯 Oldest I've had was 1933 & 1975.
I’m just glad to have opportunity; I had wanted to do the Port episode for a long time. And trying that super old Port was magical, and just a bonus - I didn’t expect it!
AMAZING VIDEOS AND CONTENTS! KEEP IT UP!❤
Yeah, these videos have INSANELY amazing production-value! Highly impressed by the cinematography, the depth of each one, the words spoken by the host, and all the information and infographics it packs!
Thank you Jordan, so happy you're enjoying the show!
Thanks. Quality product, well done
Thanks for watching!
Incredible production value. Emotional storytelling. Fascinating facts. 💯

Thanks Edgar!
Excellent 👍🏻
I found your videos only recently after deciding that this year I would focus (outside of work) on improving my knowledge of wine. This is how I came across your videos. The production value and content are incredible, I would have sworn these were high viewer cable tv shows, but to find you do these on your own, I was astonished. Have told my friends to check out your content as well and hopefully they will all join your VIP club like I did. Please keep these coming.
Shawn, thank you so much for the awesome compliment! Yes, me and the team work our face off for sure! But I'm super proud of the final product, and I'm so glad its resonating. Thank you for joining VIP, it means the world, and its worth it I promise! Cheers, and thanks again!
PART 2 PLEASE !!! #BRAVO ❤🇱🇨!!!
Thanks so much!!
Very beautiful videos
Great content as always 👏 Everything is well prepared and serve at its best! You guys should have more subscribers and fans!!

Thank you!
I love how I live right there
Excellent summation of the 1863, thank you
Of course! I also made a detailed video on that wine in case you want to check it out! (on our page)
Just came across your Chanel and I have 2 words for you… “Thank You”.
As a big wine enthusiast, currently living in Brazil but proudly born in Porto, I really appreciate the truly inspired production of the episode about my hometown and the amazing drink we all cherish “Porto” 🍷
For all your viewers and followers, I sincerely hope that have the opportunity of visiting Porto one day.
As we know, they won’t forget!!
Thanks for the video Vince.🙏🏼🍷
Orlando, thank you so much! I am always surprised how many fans I have in Brazil; I'm going to have to come one day! Appreciate the support, and so glad you've found the channel, happy to have you!
@@visforvino the wine market is growing at a fast pace here with some interesting stuff being made. Worthwhile visiting at some point.
Vince, I simply love your show! A top quality content. You deserve millions of views per video, but I'm sure it's coming soon!
My warmest recommendation for your next wine trip - CROATIA. World-class wine and cuisine, olive oil, rich history and architecture...not to mention the breathtaking landscapes! All of it in the heart of Europe.
Thank you so much!! And yes, Croatia is 100% on the list!! I’ve heard amazing things, and it looks beautiful. Hopefully soon!
This is like a sequel to the Rias Baixas episode! Great job! We’ll done! Thoroughly enjoyed it!!
Haha you’re exactly right!! It’s right down the road…we filmed them on the same trip!
wow 1863 lucky man!!
Beyond lucky!
Thank you I learned more about port wine
So glad it helped!

Wow. I’m just re learning about Port for WSET 3.
Good luck!
Portugal has always been on the short list to visit but you may have bumped it up a few notches.
Also I've been curious about port as so many of my favorite Whiskeys have spent time in Port barrels Now I need to add port bottles to the shopping list 😁
Yes, Port barrel whiskey is definitely great! Perhaps the bourbon or scotch episode needs to happen soon…
