“Wow! Cristobal made our experience magical. He was so fun, kind, and knowledgeable. He paid attention to the needs and comfort of each person. The wine experts were so fun, informative, and amazingly efficient with how they presented their wines. The lunch was outstanding and the views were like a fairytale.”
Hands-on traditional cooking and organic farm tour at Quinta de Louredo near Porto, with brunch, lunch, and Portuguese sweets in 4 hours.
“This cooking class was so much more than we ever imagined, a truly unique and personal experience.

We prepared two traditional Portuguese dishes and two local desserts, all from scratch. Before cooking, we toured the farm: picking fresh eggs and lemons, walking through the strawberry patches and vineyards, and meeting the goats, cows, and pigs. And don’t even get me started on the four loving dogs and two playful kittens who followed us around, making the whole experience feel magical.…”
