The Calém brand distinguishes itself in the market for the exceptional quality of its wines, consistency and its century-old history. Its cellars have a great reputation in the wine sector and they stand out as a world reference - One of the most visit cellars in the world.

In Detail


Porto Calém was established in 1859 by AntónioAlvesCalém that, taking advantage of the free trade regime in the wine region of Douro, soon turned his trading intentions to the other side of the ocean - Brazil. With this new market, at a time when the exportations to England were the most privileged ones, this company traded Port wine for exotic woods. This era is still remembered by the company logo - a Caravel. This was the driver element for the company and, since then, it knew no more borders.

Porto Calém remained in the same family for four generations and has always paid great attention to the production of quality Port wines, resulting in recognition by the whole Wine World. Porto Calém devotes a special attention to the production and harvest of grapes of excellent quality in the Douro region, particularly in the areas CimaCorgo and Douro Superior, known as the "Cathedral of Port Wine". There we can find iome of the best grape vines varieties and also the famous Quintas, including Quinta do Arnozelo owned by this brand.

In 1998, Porto Calém is acquired by the Sogevinus Group - Fine Wines, a company with the ability to continue the work of many years, keeping the aim of bringing new horizons to this precious nectar created with both rigour and care and continuing the tradition through the knowledge of the past allied with the new technologies of the present, always striving to do more and better. The prizes "Best of Wine Tourism" 2006 and 2008 are excellent proofs.

"It was a great experience for us to visit and assist mini Fado concert in the fabulous circumstances. We have booked to visit with English guide but knowing that we speak French you have changed to in French tour. That was really nice. After the visit we had a tasting and before the show a half an hour of rest. The show was splendid with another wine. We were satisfied very much and report to the guide book too recommend this tour. I met an American couple who will go to Porto in Feb. I'll recomend them also this experience."

We have made a reservation through Wine Tourism in Portugal website and we had experienced one of the most interesting experiences in Porto. Fado is the very expression of the Portuguese soul. The singers are truly outstanding and the wine tasting gave us the certainty of eternal life. 5 STARS!!!
