Core Museológico Favaios, Bread and Wine

We discovered this museum through a private tour of the Douro Valley, and were pleasantly surprised at this gem! Very well done museum, with English translations on all of the displays. This would be a great stop for tourists interested in learning about the production of Port wine, prior to winery or port cellar tours. Photos are from second story balcony, where we enjoyed a private wine tasting.

A delightful village and the museum was quite informative
Kept their culture and village vibrant by forming a co-operative. They raise grapes and market, bottle etc as a community. We saw the trucks bringing grapes in to be weighed and processed, we were able to taste and purchase wine. Visited one of 8 bakeries,tasted the bread. These bakeries distribute over 3000 loaves of bread fresh daily, in Favaios and the neighboring area.

Exploring the history of the area’s wine and bread production gave a much better understanding to the lives of the people in the town. The nice man who showed us around was very helpful and the view from the back balcony was stunning.

A 1000-inhabitant village has come together to create its own future with this beautiful museum dedicated to Bread and Wine. The displays are intuitive and interactive and explain the major parts and processes involved. The local guides doing tours are superb and quite proud of their home town. Well done!

Nice place to visit and spend some time while in the neighborhood. Excelent MUSCATO tasting.

Stopping at a roadside restaurant without checking the reviews can be risky....but we were hungry after traveling through the Duro Valley. The food, service and of course the wine we're all very good. The views from the deck were great. Definitely stop and enjoy a nice leisurely lunch on the river.

Very interesting winery. Excellent products. Highly recommended establishment. The tour is fascinating and the technology is amazing. Don't pass this one up.

What a lovely surprise this place was. Had been expecting a run-down dusty musuem with a bunch of random artefacts but it's very modern and well curated. Enjoyed the smell samples.

It is small, but doesn't cost much so you don't feel ripped off. Best of all make sure you go upstairs for the complimentary glass of moscatel and view.

Excellent value for money. A well appointed, small museum with interactive displays to spend 20mins in then a yummy cold muscat wine on the balcony (all included in the cost).

Great experience in a small museum with a knowledgeable guide.

Great museum with a very kind personnel and amazing views

So quaint and personal. An intimate experience with an authentic Portuguese bread maker...and DELICIOUS BREAD!!!

Great little museum giving the history of bread and wine making in Favaios. The guide was excellent and veri informative. Great place to visit if you're in the area.

Staff were very friendly and helpful. We were hoping to taste/buy some bread which is exhibited in the museum but it wasn’t available. The tasting of moscatel was very nice at the end of visit.

Very informative. We enjoyed it. The wine is excellent and the bread was worth the short walk. There's a very nice lookout if you follow the trail to the church on top of hill in town. You can also drive there.

Lots of wine and bread details!!

Well informative museum of Favaios wine and the village bread. Helpful staff speaking English, too. At the museum you could sniff different aromas of Favaios in its procedure of maturing, a new experience for me. I hope many people would find this lovely museum in this old village at the middle of moscatel wine yards. When visiting it there was a photo exhition, too.

Such a lovely tour to learn about wine and bread making in the region. The tour guides are great and the whole set up is well thought out. I recommend a visit if you're in the area. Lovely view of the vineyard from the balcony. All the locals contribute with a video starring the kids of the village.

Small compete Museum as a Museum should be for two products❤💙

Interesting small museum. Drink included - nice touch, good view.
