Cálem Cellars in Porto: an interactive museum and guided tour ending with a three-Port tasting paired with cheese and chocolate.
“Really informative and our host was great ! I loved most of the Ports that we tried”
Porto Chocolate Museum in 90 minutes: learn 5,000 years of cocoa history, watch a live factory, and taste 20|20 chocolate with audio guide.
“Fun experience! Interesting museum with great facts and interactive elements. Staff were polite and helpful, I would definitely go again.”
Porto’s Chocolate Museum pairs cocoa history with a working factory visit and tastings, using a self-guided audio tour in English.
“This museum has fabulous interactive exhibits and just enough text to hold my interest but not overwhelm. I learned so much about the origins, growing, processing and final production of chocolate! The bonus was three sample stations with a docent to describe what I was trying. The gift shop has very reasonable prices for fantastic quality chocolate! The cafe has amazing chairs. Overall a fantastic experience. We combined with the cork museum and were so happy! Visit today!”
A 45-minute chestnut tasting in Portugal’s Norte Region: Marron liqueur, Bilhó de chocolate, and a mini museum of chestnut roasting.
“Espectacular, no me esperaba que las castañas diesen tanto producto. El museo muy logrado y los dueños encantadores. Trato maravilloso y luego la degustación espectacular. Tienen tienda y es maravillosa. Con niños una experiencia maravillosa. Lo recomiendo 100%”
Porto in 3 hours: small-group tastings of pastries, market fish snacks, cod, cheese, and sweets with wine and a local guide in English.
“Be prepared to eat a lot. This tour starts with a typical Porto breakfast consisting of coffee with a pastry (Jesuita). After that we kept walking and reached the farmers market where we had a snack consisting of bacalao (codfish), cavala and sardines with bread, chorizos and hams and wines. We kept walking and had lunch at Santiago where we had the traditional franceschina. Our tour guide Maria is a chef and a wine expert and as so took us to eat and drink the best of Porto. Mari we will be back!”
Small-group Portuguese dessert workshop in Porto where you make 3 traditional sweets from scratch with Joana’s family stories.
“Amazing time. Jo is absolutely fantastic. We learned a lot and met great people. Genuinely a wonderful experience!!!!”
Two hours in Porto with a local guide, 8 pastries across 3 shops, each paired with a drink, plus walking stops and insider tips.
“A very personal tour (only two of us) by a guide who was passionate about his city. Fully explained the history of the city and its relevance to the country. The guide was very personable and found some common interests to discuss. I highly recommend this tour. Oh, and the pastries were wonderful.”
A short 40-minute tasting in Vila Nova de Gaia pairing Quevedo Port wines with bean-to-bar chocolates from Porto.
“Erg leuk de combinatie met port en chocolade. Het was lekker en goed uitgelegd om de verschillen te kunnen proeven. We hadden een privé proeverij. Dat hadden we niet verwacht”
