The Appetizer: A Tour of the Iconic Mercado do Bolhão
Your adventure begins at the world-famous Bolhão Market. As one of Porto’s most historic landmarks, this vibrant hub is the soul of the city’s food scene. You will embark on a guided gastronomic tour, weaving through stalls of colorful produce, artisanal cheeses, and fresh seafood. This is where you will discover the high-quality, local ingredients that make Portuguese cuisine so special.

The Warm-Up: Coffee and Pastries
Following a pleasant 10-minute walk through Porto’s charming streets, we arrive at the professional kitchen of Boutique Maison Canto De Luz. Before diving into the cooking, take a moment to relax and recharge. Enjoy a premium Barista-made coffee paired with a warm, flaky Pastel de Nata (traditional custard tart), setting the stage for a productive and creative session.

The Main Course: A Hands-On Cooking Workshop
Prepare for a truly interactive hands-on workshop. Under the expert guidance of our local chef, you will learn the art of preparing "petiscos"—the authentic Portuguese version of tapas. After a professional demonstration of techniques, it is your turn to step up to the stove. You will prepare traditional dishes yourself, mastering the balance of flavors that defines our regional gastronomy.

The Dessert: A Celebration of Flavors
Finally, it is time to enjoy the fruits of your labor. Sit down with your fellow classmates to share the meal you’ve created, all while sipping a glass of exquisite Douro Valley wine (additional wine is also available for purchase).

Take a Piece of Porto Home
To ensure you can recreate the magic, every participant receives a recipe bag and a special bottle of Aguardente for traditional chorizo grilling. It is the perfect way to show off your new skills to friends and family.
