Fortunately, we're one flight away from some of the best wine regions in the world.

All wines by the glass are $5 each every day until 3:00pm and all day on Mondays until 7:00pm. The food is perfect. We had the bruschetta, which is served with your choice of four toppings. The walnut with gorgonzola and honey drizzle was breathtaking. Great atmosphere, too. Portello Wine Cafe MORE: Cape Cod _ Truro Vineyards |

It’s discovering and enjoying the incredible variety of wines and how they enhance any occasion. And one of the best ways to do this is visiting wineries and talking to the people who make the wines.
