Overview

There’s so much to see and do in Madeira, but the other side of that coin means it can be hard to get a really good understanding of the local culture in the vacation time you’ve got. With this baking class, you get to not just try your hand at bolo do caco (a round flatbread), but you do it in the company of a local family in their home.

An intimate, small group experience capped at just five people
Learn from a Madeiran baker with over 40 years of experience
Enjoy your bolo do caco with fresh-picked fruit, cheese, and more
Service animals are most welcome

Please do yourself a favor and book this while you're in Madeira! Tonia & her aunt are so kind and accommodating. We thoroughly enjoyed spending time with them and learning about Madeiran culture and the art of making Bolo do Caco. Thanks for a great experience!
