Sandeman Port Has Collaborated with Boston's Weesh Bake Shop

— May 7, 2025 — Marketing
Sandeman Port and Boston's Weesh Bake Shop have partnered to create an unconventional pastry offering that blends premium fortified wine with nostalgic American comfort food.

The limited-edition collection features two artisanal pop-tart varieties — one inspired by Portugal's iconic Pastéis de Nata custard tarts, and another combining chocolate and strawberry flavors infused with Sandeman's 10-Year-Old Tawny Port. The first flavor delivers culinary authenticity, while the second delights with a decadent twist on classic flavor combinations.

Targeting Mother's Day gifting opportunities, this partnership merges Weesh Bake Shop's reputation for reimagining classic snacks with Sandeman's 230-year heritage in Portuguese winemaking, resulting in a gourmet twist on the mass-produced toaster pastry. Each $50 Mother's Day limited-edition package includes both pop tart flavors, along with a $25 gift card that may go toward Sandeman Port purchases.
