If I were to choose two cellars, do Taylors as it is one of the oldest and does a great tour plus Ramon Pinto for its label collection which is pure art and it is a brand better known in France than in the English-speaking world. A good contrast.

A real neighborhood, with residents and vital life among all the port cellars and tourists.
