Porto Private Food & Wine Walking Tour with Market & Tastings
Overview
Available languages
3 hours 30 minutes
Mobile ticket
We were born, raised and always lived in Porto, so we know the city as a local and, since it is a private tour, we will customize it according to your interests.
In this private food/wine tour we will focus on Portuguese gastronomy, but you will learn a lot about our culture, history and traditions, which makes us unique.
You will visit the Bolhão market and several food spots and tascas (traditional stores), while getting in contact with the locals. Meanwhile, discover the stories behind our main dishes: the legend of the "tripeiros", name given to the Porto inhabitants; you will learn how "francesinha" is made, that "caloric bomb" that you should not miss and the tasty codfish recipes, so important in our culture.
We will harmonise it with our portuguese wines and explain the diverse grapes and wine regions. And what about our cakes, such as pastel de nata or Jesuita?
Enjoy more! Experience more!

What To Expect
Sao Bento Railway Station
Our accredited guide will meet you at the interior clock of the São Bento train Station. The murals represent moments in the country's history, and the multicoloured panels depict rural scenes showing the people of various regions, as well as the 2 wine regions in the north of Portugal. Locals are known as "Tripeiros", and you will discover the legend behind, which is related to the conquest of Ceuta (1415), with the principal figure of Infante D. Henrique, who subjugated the Moors. The station is located in the Historic Centre of Porto, which has been declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a National Monument of Portugal. It is the main terminus of Porto's suburban railway lines, and it is connected to São Bento Metro Station on Metro line D.
Get to know the locals, known as "tripeiros" at Bolhão market and taste canned fish with green wines, as well as olives and lupins. Discover the stories behind Portuguese traditional dishes, culture and history. The market was opened to the public in 1914 and specialises in meat, fish, fruit, flowers, vegetables and other colourful products. Recently renovated, it is one of Porto's highlights.

A Delicious Taste of Porto

5.00We had a wonderful afternoon exploring many delicious venues. A flavorful shredded pork sandwich- a favorite of the locals, was first on the list. This was followed by a stroll through an historic market sampling wines, sardines, fresh oysters and stuffed dates and figs. The next treat we enjoyed was a sample of Ginjinha, a delicious cherry liquor available at a family owned shop. After a short walk we attended a luscious olive oil tasting complete with Portuguese cheese and charcuterie. A stop at a unique shop featuring jams, honey and chocolate spreads flavored with fruit was amazing. The perfect finish was a visit to a pastry shop for an espresso and the quintessential Portuguese pastry, Pasteis de Nata. Highly recommend.

5.00We thoroughly enjoyed our food tour in Porto with João. He provided insight into the culture and development of the area, along with a wonderful sampling of a variety of food and drinks. He was friendly and knowledgable, and accommodated us with several stops along the tour for us to explore shops and sights we were interested in. I highly recommend Oporto & Douro Moments.

5.00We had the greatest time touring with Oporto & Douro Moments! My husband and I had traveled to Porto once before but wanted to try something different this time. We booked a walking food and wine tour on a Sunday morning and it was the perfect way to see the city (definitely wear comfy shoes!) and get to learn a little more about the history and the special dishes of Porto! Highly recommend!
