Two centuries making wine history.The house of Sandeman winery is in the wine region area of Ruta del vino de Porto e Douro
The city of Porto has always followed its own rhythm. This alternative and independent spirit is immediately felt when walking through its streets and talking to the locals. In a city so rich in history and culture, we wanted to create something that would properly celebrate that unique essence of Porto.
The House of Sandeman Hostel & Suites, the world's first branded hostel, celebrates one of the world's greatest Port Wine brands, right on the Douro, in one of Porto's most iconic buildings, the wine cellars.
THE WINERY
Since its beginnings in 1790, Sandeman has been a pioneering company, always seeking to innovate and surprise. It was the first Port Wine brand to brand its barrels by fire and establish a reputation for quality. Its creative advertising is famous around the world, largely thanks to The Don, the enigmatic character in a hat and cape.
This spirit of innovation remains a fundamental part of Sandeman. One of the world's most famous brands, it stays one step ahead of the competition, seeking new ways to enhance your experience with the rich heritage of Port Wine and Sandeman.
