Something special about your Yoga Brunch is the combination of community, wellness, and local flavor in a laid-back, authentic setting. The setting: Kestee Coffee Shop has a cozy, local vibe. The brunch is thoughtfully prepared with fresh, healthy ingredients, often with a focus on sustainability or local sourcing. The vibe is about connection — you don't just show up and leave; you meet like-minded people, laugh, share a meal, and slow down. The experience is casual yet curated — making guests feel like they’re part of a little wellness community, even if just for a morning.

At The Kitchen, our goal is to provide a truly authentic experience.

Each recipe has been carefully chosen for its authenticity and ease, ensuring you can impress your friends and family with a taste of Portugal at home.

This Cataplana cooking class offers a unique opportunity to dive into the heart of Algarve's culinary traditions. Led by a skilled local chef, you'll not only learn to prepare this iconic dish but also immerse yourself in the rich history and culture behind it. The hands-on experience, combined with a full meal and wine pairing, ensures that you savor every aspect of the Algarve's flavors.

What makes this tour unique is its personal and immersive nature. You explore a local market with insider tips, then visit a private country home for a hands-on cooking experience. Rather than a typical tour, it feels like visiting a friend—cooking, sharing a traditional meal with local wine, and enjoying a relaxed, authentic atmosphere. You also leave with recipes and skills to recreate the experience at home.

If you’re curious about Portuguese food and want to go beyond restaurants, this is your chance to get hands-on and learn how to make one of the country’s most iconic dishes from scratch. Instead of just tasting a bifana, you’ll understand what makes it so special — and how to recreate it at home. Along the way, you’ll cook other traditional dishes, enjoy good wine and beer, and experience the relaxed, social side of Portuguese culture — the kind that happens around the table, with simple food done really well. It’s a fun, informal experience where you’ll cook, eat, laugh, and connect — and leave with new skills, great memories, and the confidence to bring a true taste of Portugal into your own kitchen.

Learn about Portugal’s rich winemaking history and how to blend different grape varieties during this bottle blending workshop. Join your private instructor and get a hands-on experience learning about the different grape varieties as well as how to blend wines in various proportions. Conclude your tour by creating your own bottle of blended wine complete with cork and seal.

In theory you could go dolphin spotting on your own in Quarteira – you could charter a boat, rent some binoculars and try your luck, but your chances of a successful sighting wouldn’t be great. Instead, maximise your chances of getting up close with these wonderful marine mammals by joining the Dolphin Quest guided tour. In addition to maximising your chances of successfully seeing dolphins, support Portuguese conservation efforts by taking this tour – a portion of every adult ticket sold goes towards AIMM, the Marine Environment Research Association of Portugal.

Explore the dramatic coastline of the western Algarve on a full-day tour to Lagos and Sagres.
