PORTO CRUZ space

Posted by C.daSILVA / at Thursday, November 15, 2012 / /

The brand Porto Cruz, a leading global Port Company, began a new phase in its history thanks to the Espaço Porto Cruz. This project is different, innovative and was created to celebrate the culture of Port wine in Ribeira de Gaia.

Porto Cruz, owned by La Martiniquaise since 1975, has bought C. da Silva (Vinhos) SA (DALVA brand) in 2007.
Nowadays, both brands are changing the traditional image, or atmosphere offered to tourists, in terms innovation and modern design, with a special concern of keeping the tradition.
