Porto, Portugal

3 hours 30 minutes (approximately)
Offered in: German and 4 more

We were born, raised and always lived in Porto, so we know the city as a local and, since it is a private tour, we will customize it according to your interests.

In this private food/wine tour we will focus on Portuguese gastronomy, but you will learn a lot about our culture, history and traditions, which makes us unique.

You will visit the Bolhão market and several food spots and tascas (traditional stores), while getting in contact with the locals. Meanwhile, discover the stories behind our main dishes: the legend of the "tripeiros", name given to the Porto inhabitants; you will learn how "francesinha" is made, that "caloric bomb" that you should not miss and the tasty codfish recipes, so important in our culture.

We will harmonise it with our portuguese wines and explain the diverse grapes and wine regions. And what about our cakes, such as pastel de nata or Jesuita?

What to expect

The gastronomy from the northern part of Portugal is among the most varied in the country, and includes fish and seafood from the coast along with tasty meats from the countryside. Your local guide will tell you the stories that are behind these traditional dishes, such as "Tripas à Moda do Porto", the "Francesinha" and "our faithful friend", the cod  and offer up some of their recipes.

Desserts, especially those whose recipes were forged in the convents, play a role in the history of Portugal's food scene. Your guide will take you to the grocery stores and point you to the very best goods used in Portuguese cuisine.

This guided tour includes 10 tastings and wines including olives, bread, canned fish, smoked sausages, cheeses, the famous Francesinha, olive oil and other traditional snacks as well as vinho verde, DOC Douro wines and port wine. Visit the temporary Bolhão market and the traditional shops with surprising snacks while you get to know the spots of the city.

Enjoy a  new experience to your senses.
