About this audio guide
This guide to WOW Porto, the Cultural District, starts with the mishap that shaped it: a host named Adrian Bridge trying to serve port from genuine ancient drinking vessels, with mixed results. It follows Bridge, who runs the Fladgate Partnership behind Taylor's and other port houses, and his decades of quietly collecting cups, jugs and bowls spanning nine thousand years, now housed alongside cork, chocolate and wine museums inside converted riverside warehouses. Keep an eye out among the display cases for the very kind of cup that started it all.
