When Antonio Calm founded Porto Cálem in 1859, he set his sights on crossing the Atlantic and exporting to Brazil at a time when Port was typically shipped to the UK and other European markets. Once he eventually set route to Brazil, his first transactions were done in exotic woods. By 1965, Porto Calém’s reputation for fearlessness had made its way around the world along its ships and crews.
We enjoyed a wine tasting experience where we tasted and learned about the history of different wines and also tasted some wine chocolates, which were delicious and you couldn’t taste the alcohol at all.
