Wine and Food tasting

The best of the past with a modern twist.

During this Food Tour, you will taste traditional Portuguese dishes, regional wines, local pastries, and, of course, Port wines. In total, you will experience a well-balanced gastronomic tour of 11 different foods and 6 different beverages.

Expect to see not only places & food, but also meet and be welcomed by local families in their small, authentic restaurants, cafes, and bars. Expect your Food Tour to be hosted by a passionate Porto native who will want you to love Porto as much as we do.

Reviews

It is the second time I have done a Taste of Porto tour - the first with Andre on City Tour and this time with Maria on the Vintage Tour. Maria is extremely professional, friendly and knowledgeable - and can hold her own when explaining the architecture, history, culinary and viticulture against the hustle and bustle of busy Porto streets. Each of the stops we made was an experience until itself. Delicious food, drink and of course Port Wine and regional white, rose and red wines. Altogether an excellent experience.

Very interesting tour! I had the opportunity to taste some traditional portuguese food that I did not yet know. Very good food and the tour guide, Rita, was very nice! I will repeat for sure!

We booked onto the 10 am food tour with Andre. It was fantastic! We couldn’t have asked for more. There is so much food/wine and history on the tour you certainly don’t need lunch after. Each stop was different - we had a selection of pastries, Sandwiches, traditional Portuguese food and also a port tasting session at the end. Way more than we expected. Thank you so much for a fantastic experience!
