Extra ativities
Beyond the music and dancing, we’ve prepared a selection of extra experiences to make your festival weekend even more memorable.
WINE CELLAR VISIT & TASTING
Because a weekend in Porto can be about a little more than dancing.
We're very happy to welcome Nicolau de Almeida as a local partner of this year's Blues Juke Joint Weekend.
With five generations of winemaking behind them, the Nicolau de Almeida family produces Douro and Port wines and will also be joining us during the festival, where you'll have the opportunity to discover and purchase some of their wines.
And if you'd like to go a little further, join us on Saturday afternoon for a special visit to their working cellar in Vila Nova de Gaia.
Discover their family story, how they work their vineyards and how their wines are made and aged, and finish the experience with a tasting of 5 wines: 2 Douro DOC reds, 2 Port wines and 1 Minho white.
