WOW Porto - The Cultural District

A really well thought out and comprehensive museum which guides you through the world of wine in all its aspects. The wine tasting at the end was an added bonus and the staff were very knowledgeable and friendly. The shop is great too. I bought the day ticket which gives you access to seven nearby and very diverse museums - including those focussed on rose wine, the history of cork and chocolate! The ticket is great value and you could easily spend a day taking in all the sites. Highly recommended!

Visited the World of Wine exhibit and was blown away by the level of detail and how informative this museum was. Very engaging and interactive, learning so much about everything wine - from history to growing to production and tasting. Could easily spend 2 hours here alone. Enjoyed a port tonic at one of the on site restaurants to finish and was the perfect way to end the experience over sunset.

Nice place, there are multiple interactive museums that you can explore the whole family. The place is very clean and new. We have a chance to visit wine and cork museums. There are plenty of things to learn and play inside that will let you say WOW before leaving. The view is also nice here, if you are not into museums. You can also have a meal or a coffee here as well.

Exceptional museums with so many interactive features, particularly in The Wine Experience. The Chocolate Story was also good but was a lot more reading, could do with more interactive pieces like The Wine Experience. Overall, a must visit. The terrace restaurants are also worth visiting with a great view of Porto.

Really great facility, nicely appointed and styled to mix modernity and history. The views of the north side of the city from the front and top terraces are also wonderful. Nice dining facilities on-site too.

WOW is a big place with so much to look at and learn about wines, Rose, etc. We went through one museum and did the wine tasting. We were tired so did not have the energy to do the other ones. It is owned by Taylor (port makers) so very well done. Not many people when we were there but get tixs ahead. Enjoy!

An impressive set of new buildings on the Vila Nova de Gaia side of the Douro river, above the port cellars. It was very quiet and we didn't visit the museums, but a relaxed spot with some great views of Porto from the cafe terrace.
