Link profile: Cockburn's


Category: Start / Great Cities of Portugal / Oporto / Port Lodges
Cockburn's is one of the most recognisable names in port, and there is nothing wrong with that, its success has been earned. It was founded in 1815 by an ex-soldier who had visited Portugal when serving under Wellington. It is now owned by Pernod Ricard (as are many of the port houses nowadays), but maintains its separate identity, lodges and quintas (wine-making estates where the vines are grown - Cockburn's owns more vineyards than any other port house).
