For many, Taylor’s is the archetypal Port house and its wines the quintessential Ports. Established over three centuries ago in 1692, Taylor’s is one of the oldest of the founding Port houses. It is dedicated entirely to the production of Port wine and in particular to its finest style

Above all, Taylor’s is regarded as the benchmark for Vintage Port. Noted for their elegance and poise as well as for their restrained power and longevity, Taylor’s Vintage Ports are blended from the finest wines of the firm’s own quintas or estates, Vargellas, Terra Feita and Junco. These three iconic properties, each occupying a distinct geographic location and with their own unique character, are the cornerstone of the company’s success and the main source of its unique and inimitable house style. Above all, Taylor’s is an independent company in which some family members play a leading role in all areas of the firm’s activity. The firm’s long and unbroken family tradition has provided continuity and clarity of purpose, essential attributes of any great wine house. It has also allowed the skills and knowledge required to produce the finest ports to be constantly refined and added to in the light of experience as they are passed down from one generation to the next. Três Séculos has been hosting and organising events in the historic Port wine cellar district of Porto, Portugal, since 1988 honouring a range of occasions from conference meals, weddings, baptisms and birthday parties, to official national and international state dinners. With a wide variety of conference rooms and events spaces at the Taylor's Port and Croft Port cellars and also at nearby Quinta do Barões, Três Séculos can host functions for groups between 10 and 1200 people. Many of the spaces were once Port cellars or the banquet halls of the Port companies.
