3.Traditional Cooking Class, Farm Tour & Lunch in the Douro Valley

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 46 reviews · 4 hours (approx.) · from $179

Spend about four hours at Quinta de Louredo with host Fabio, touring a family farm, gathering fruit, eggs, and herbs, then preparing a traditional Portuguese meal. Expect generous farm snacks, local wine, animals, panoramic views, and a small group of no more than 10 people. The experience starts at 11:00 am and returns to the farm meeting point.

“A delight! The best way to immerse yourself in the Portuguese culture. Our family of 5 spent the day with Fabio on his slice of paradise. We started the day with wine and fresh cheese and bread then Had a lovely walk around the farm; the menagerie of farm animals: dogs, cats, pigs, baby chicks and miniature cow along with fresh fruit hanging from trees that we tasted on the way. Back at the farm house we enjoyed much more wine (made by Fabio) along with a lovely lunch and delicious dessert. Fabio, along with 2 other guests, made this the highlight of our time spent in Porto.”
