oPortUno - a new Port wine bar in Porto

Post by Alex Bridgeman »

Maria Tita, who many of you would know from her time working with Blackett, São Leonardo, Quinta das Lamelas and running the Avepod wine bar has opened a new Port themed wine bar and has invited us all to visit when we are next in town.

The bar is OportunO and can be found at 207-209 Rua do Comércio do Porto, 4050-211 Porto. That's a block up the hill from the Palacio da Bolsa. Contact details can be found on their website or ask me as I have a few business cards.

Open Monday-Saturday, noon to 7pm.
Top 2025: Quevedo 1972 Colheita, b.2024. Just as good as Niepoort 1900!

2026: DR Very Old White, Graham Stone Terraces 2011, Quevedo Branco 1986 b.2026

She’s very nice and knowledgeable. Will have to stop by next time I’m there. Thanks for posting about it.

Oh, that's very very near another wine bar I occasionally frequent - Prova. I'll have to check out Oportuno next time!

She was also one of the principles at LaDo, which is in the same place where AVEPOD used to be.

Awesome that she has her own shop now!

I hope they have Carmina Burana playing on loop when you enter... "O Por-tuno <bom> <bom>"...
Sounds well worth a visit next trip.
