About this audio guide
This guide to the Adriano Ramos Pinto lodge in Porto centers on the shipper's namesake founder, a 21-year-old artist who in 1880 turned away from England, the port trade's traditional customer, to bet his firm's future on Brazil instead. It follows how he built that gamble with daring belle-époque advertising, images no rival house would touch in a devoutly Catholic country, and how two Portuguese aviators carried his bottles across the Atlantic in 1922. You'll walk through his own office, preserved as he left it, before reaching the cellars where the port still ages in barrels the way he insisted it should.
