Culinary Portugal —
From Market to Table
Six immersive culinary journeys — private cooking classes, dawn market tours, Pastel de Nata masterclasses, wine tastings and estate lunches — experienced without compromise, at the table of the real Portugal.
The flavours of Portugal, privately
Private Cooking Class

- ◆Market sourcing included
- ◆2–8 guests
Market Immersion Tour

- ◆Producer introductions
- ◆Private tasting at market
- ◆Chef-led selection guidance
Pastel de Nata Masterclass

The secret recipe has been guarded since 1837 at Pastéis de Belém — but our partner patissiers teach the authentic Portuguese custard tart method in a private Lisbon setting. Perfect for families and connoisseurs.

- ◆Private dining, no shared tables
- ◆Wine flight: Douro + Vinho Verde

Olive Oil & Alentejo Table

- ◆Estate visit + pressing tour
- ◆Producer olive oil tasting
- ◆Estate lunch — black Alentejo pork
