Visit and tasting 100% recommended
We loved the visit and the explanations from Francisca - the girl who guided us - were magnificent; she explained many curiosities about this Quinta, its wines, and its founder Anselmo Mendes.

Exceptional wine tourism experience
Despite having visited many wineries in various regions of the world, including several in Portugal, Quinta da Torre impressed me deeply with the dedication, professionalism, and friendliness of the entire team. All employees demonstrated a high level of preparation and a genuine commitment to the quality of the experience provided to visitors. The guided tour was extraordinary, conducted exemplarily by Sandra, as was the tasting guided by Gustavo, both revealing great knowledge and passion for what they do. The mansion is impeccably preserved and cared for, reflecting an attention to detail that deserves mention. It is truly in an irreproachable state. My congratulations to the entire team for the excellent work developed. As a pleasant final surprise, we also had the opportunity to meet Mr. Anselmo Mendes, an undeniable reference of Alvarinho wines. In short, I highly recommend this experience to all lovers of wine tourism and great wines.

Super recommended
The experience was great. Super nice and close staff (thanks especially to the guide who was great). A very charming and very interesting place, where they explain the history of the estate and all the great work and also the outstanding objectives of Anselmo Mendes, to which we were lucky to meet on the visit taking a walk through Quinta da Torre. Also comment that the wines are made with a lot of effort and passion and give a lot of detail to the flavor and what each wants to transmit. A great wine tasting and a magnificent experience. Thank you so much!

Why this scores 70
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Wine Tasting at Quinta da Torre Anselmo Mendes: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Braga.
How much does Wine Tasting at Quinta da Torre Anselmo Mendes cost?
+
Prices start at $37 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Braga usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Wine Tasting at Quinta da Torre Anselmo Mendes take?
+
Plan for about 1.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Braga is not rushed.
Is Wine Tasting at Quinta da Torre Anselmo Mendes worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 70 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 16 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Braga, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Wine Tasting at Quinta da Torre Anselmo Mendes?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Wine Tasting at Quinta da Torre Anselmo Mendes suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Wine Tasting at Quinta da Torre Anselmo Mendes?
+
Around 6 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Braga can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Braga and add a light layer if any part of the 1.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Wine Tasting at Quinta da Torre Anselmo Mendes start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Braga within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Braga?
+
On Outty we rank every Braga experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include From Porto: Waterfall, Lagoon, Old Village in Gerês National Park, Kayaking and Waterfall in Peneda-Gerês National Park from Porto, Canyoning Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Braga?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Braga?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
