There are numerous port/wine houses in Gaia that offer tastings. The big ones are on the river front, but there are smaller shops a block or two off of it.

The Barcelos Earl’s Palace was built in the early 1400s. It fell into disrepair over the ensuing centuries, but the ruins are now a national monument.
