At Taste Porto, we believe in keeping things small, cozy, and personal, tailoring every experience to make sure it’s memorable for your team.

You’ll also enjoy exclusive access to tasting rooms, where our local experts - including chefs and sommeliers - introduce you to high-quality wines and delicious cuisine that showcase the best of Porto.

Whether you’re planning for a small team or a larger gathering, we’ll design a custom experience your group will be talking about long after the last toast.

OUR APPROACH

As Porto’s longest-running food tour company, we specialize in creating intimate experiences for groups of up to 60 participants (subject to availability). However, to ensure the best experience, larger groups are always divided into smaller ones of 15 people each. Why? Because at Taste Porto, we believe that small is the new big. That’s why we partner with small local partners that reflect the authentic spirit of Porto, ensuring every experience is intimate and meaningful. In smaller groups, we can create a dynamic that feels less like a corporate event and more like a family gathering - where participants can share meaningful conversations over a table of incredible Portuguese food.
