What are people saying about Porto

Porto Hands On Cooking Class-3 course-wine included-trained chef

Jeffrey_S, May 2026

Just the experience we were looking for in Porto!

Recently, while in Porto, Portugal, we took this cooking class with Chef Tania, with her spouse Tomas assisting, and wow… what an experience from start to finish. The day began with a tour of Mercado do Bolhão with Tomas, where we met another couple participating in the class. We shared wine, tried sardines for the first time, and learned more about the market and Portuguese food culture. It was the perfect way to start the experience. After the market tour, we walked over to the apartment for the cooking class, and let me tell you — everything was flawless. We’ve had the privilege of taking cooking classes in private locations in Paris, Budapest, Italy, and India, and out of all of them, the attention to detail and overall execution of this class was by far the best. Chef Tania was incredibly hands-on, welcoming, and engaging throughout the entire experience. She encouraged questions, made everyone feel completely at ease, and created such a warm and inviting atmosphere. Having recently moved to Lisbon a few months ago, I especially loved being able to ask a real Portuguese chef questions about cooking and ingredients, and she was so generous with her knowledge. We learned so much, laughed a ton, ate incredibly well, and left genuinely excited to recreate the dishes at home. I truly cannot recommend this class enough. It was one of the highlights of our time in Porto.

Incredible Porto food tour with hidden gems. Definitely recommend!

Really enjoyed this Porto food tour, it was a perfect mix of delicious traditional Portuguese food, local wines, and exploring the city in a relaxed way that never felt too touristy or rushed. Got to try some great spots around Porto that i definitely would’ve missed on my own. The guide was friendly, knowledgeable, and made everything super enjoyable. There was plenty of food so come hungry! If you’re looking for an authentic Portuguese food experience in Porto, I’d highly recommend this one!

Great cooking class. It was a hit

We met at the workplace and then walked to the market. That was really nice and even though I’ve been to other markets this one was really nice. We then walked back to the work shop/cooking class room. Then we prepared a three course meal by ourselves with Afonso’s direction. Btw, Afonso was truly great. Very knowledgeable and calm with a terrific sense of humor. We made a great soup followed by a cod dish (with onion, garlic, olive oil and cheese. I had seconds. That was followed by a delicious almond tart. I’m not a desert guy but this was great. Lots of wine, water, coffee and port. I would take this cooking class again.

A brilliant experience

Clara was the most wonderful guide through the whole experience of baking our pastel de natas today. We were involved all along, and as the group was small, she made us all feel welcome and included. It was interesting, fun and we learnt loads. The cakes we made were amazing and we now have the skill of being able to make them ourselves. What a joy! Thank you Clara, you were brilliant.

Minnesota home cooks

It was lovely! Directions to get in were a little difficult to understand but we got in on time. Jorge was fantastic. English was excellent. We four guests were all home cooks and learned something. The conversation and the wine went along with a wonderful meal. Our 3 hour event stretched on for 4 and a half hours and that was a GOOD thing. We would wholeheartedly recommend Jorge and already have when we were on a boat and wine tour the next day.

Must Do! Spend your money wisely!

I have been to many of these including the Napa Valley in California and I can tell you that I have never experienced a better time than the day I spent with Marco. It is definitely a must do. Instead of wasting your money on dull bus tours you must spend a day with Marco and experience the true Portugal. You won’t regret it. You’ll come away fuller, and with more knowledge of Portugal. In the Two months that I’ve been here it was the best money spent. ❤️

Porto Cooking Class and Wine Experience (private)

Learn to cook authentic Portuguese Cuisine in a lovely farmhouse

The cooking class with Chef Heitor was the highlight of our trip to Porto. Just a short train or taxi ride outside of Porto, we visited the family farm of the chef and learned to cook a multi-course meal with fresh produce grown on the farm. As avid cooks, the Chef taught us how to make authentic Portuguese food and introduced new techniques that will make us better cooks. What made the visit so special was the hospitality of Chef Heitor, from the moment we booked, he made the visit special. He provided details on how to easily get to the farm, arranged a taxi, and ensured that the travel was smooth. Once we got to the farm, we had a tour of his family's home, visited the family chapel, kitchen, and since it was harvest watched the process of harvesting the grapes. He welcomed us like family. The kitchen was warm and welcoming, the afternoon flew by as we learned how to make Portuguese fish stew, rice, and appetizers of cod cakes and sardines. For dessert. we made a simple orange roll cake. We then ate in the family dining room, enjoying each course we made accompanied by his own wine. We truly enjoyed our time with Chef Heitor, his assistant Christina, and will be back when we visit Porto again.
