It is highly recommended if you tour middle of the Portugal. It is between Curia Palace Hotel and Aveiro. The tour cost $3 include the museum, wine tasting, and underground cellar. It is well worth the money. The museum is at the next door. The map of the train station show each destination and stop including the central station. The museum stations include African art, mineral, fossil, calcite, jade, blue tile and more. I like wood fossil room. It has some character. They has designated a pink room for their rose bubble wine. We also past through a old tunnel full of how the old bottle was place. I like one of the room with different shapes of mirrors reflecting the light. It is beautiful when they reflected to the floor. The cellar includes the process of turn the bottle quarter turn to allow the alcohol progress smoothly. We have tour the bubble wine, XO, regular wine area. It is impressive. The best part is to taste their wine, bubble wine and sangria. Love it. The wine here are bargains.

A renowned organic winery making exceptional wines in the acclaimed DAO region. Located in a tiny…read morevillage of less than 150 people this place is worth seeking out. After venturing out from town by car to explore a couple of their vineyards, some of which were recently replanted after being impacted by the extensive fires that swept the area in 2017, we walked through the small winery to see how things were done. It was harvest time so the place had that great fall winery smell and there were tanks of juice starting their fermenting process. The leisurely tasting was conducted on a picnic table in the shade of an ancient lemon tree just steps from the winery. Like so many of the artisan places, don't expect some Napa-styled tasting room, instead plan for delicious wines made with great care. Over the course of an hour or so we tasted through their wonderful collection starting with whites and a fruity rose then continuing on to some special reds. We enjoyed all of the wines. To make things even better, the winemaker had set out some very local cheese and meats that paired beautifully with the wines. Wonderful and memorable visit. I understand that a couple of the wines are distributed in the U.S. but I wish I could have brought back a case of these treasures.

There is a video screen showing a short video of the stern of the ship rocking with the waves. You have to stand when watching this big screen which makes you feel like you are on the ship. I think I wanted to be lazy and not stand with the big screen there though lol. If you're from the Philadelphia area, look for the bell and pretend you want to give it a crack! (Rolls eyes) These places tend not to be handicap accessible and here is no exception. You also get a glimpse of how people might live on a ship. There are similar ships you can tour in the US with these kind of things to tour if you have already seen things like the captain's quarters, ship gear, kitchen galley, etc. So if you need to maximize your time, skip all this other stuff.
