Our food and wine walking tours in Porto feel less like tours and more like taking a walk with a local friend who knows a lot about the history of Porto and strives for every guest to fall in love with the city. Over the past 8 years, we came out as the top pick for Porto Food Tours on Lonely Planet, The Guardian and Parts Unknown. And because we believe deeply in tourism having a positive impact
on our community, a portion of the tour ticket price is donated to a local charity that helps the ones in need. Visit us at tasteporto.com

Wasn’t it April just yesterday? “Time runs like rabbits”, as W. H. Auden would say!
But if you’re lucky enough to find yourself in Porto this September, get ready- magic is in the air. The city is packed with events that will make you fall in love with it all over again.
Here’s a taste:
▶ Porto Book Fair at Jardim do Palácio de Cristal. Hurry, it’s on until September 8th.
▶ Porto Half Marathon. September 15th - mark it down. A tradition for a reason, right @meiamaratonadoporto?
▶ Serralves by Night - a guided nocturnal tour, already a must-see!
▶ Keep your belly happy with some Portuguese craft beer at our favorite spots: @CatraioCraftBeer, , @musadasvirtudes and @ArmazemCerveja.
▶ If wine is your thing, you’re in luck. September is harvest season in the Douro. Our favorite wineries? @quintadopopa.douro.winery, Quinta do Seixo , @Quintadelarosa, and @quintadovallado.
▶ Porto is more than just Port wine. Book a Taste Porto Food Tour at tasteporto.com and uncover the world of other lesser-known Portuguese wines.
And there’s more:
▶ Hop on the tram. These aren’t just old-school - they’re history on wheels.
▶ Visit the Handicraft Fair in Batalha. Handicrafts are the heartbeat of this country, and this market runs daily from 9 am to 8 pm.

Looking for something that’ll blow your mind?
Before McDonald’s arrived in Portugal, locals had their own fast-food favorite – the iconic “Churrasqueira” where they’d grab delicious “frango de churrasco”. 😋
Chicken marinated in a secret blend of spices and grilled to perfection over an open flame. Crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and packed with authentic Portuguese flavors.
This is the stuff that makes you fall in love with food all over again. Serioulsy.
Ever had a taste of this Portuguese street food legend? If not, make sure you don’t leave Porto without sinking your teeth into it.
Now tag your foodie friends and share the love for “frango de churrasco”!

Here's our Top favorite food and drink pairings in Porto.
Porto awaits - don’t miss out on tasting it all! Secure your spot today at tasteporto.com because tickets tend to vanish faster than a plate of freshly baked pastries.
It’s a tale old as time: after every meal, a Portuguese will ask for an espresso!
And for those 4 people in the country who don't drink coffee, another warm drink - "carioca de limão" - is served in the same cups as coffee, so they don't feel completely left out of the social importance of coffee drinking in Portugal.
"Carioca de limão" is as simple as water with a lemon peel and if you are not a fan of coffee... you’ve just learned about the best alternative!

“The downtown food tour was the highlight of our visit to Porto. From the many vendors at the Bolhão Market to the slow food restaurant, it was one of our favorite experiences during our trip to Portugal. Great for all ages, teens to seniors. Ângelo was a great guide. I highly recommend this tour to give you a sample of the many authentic food and wine merchants in this amazing city!” - Kari, via TripAdvisor

On June 10th, we celebrate Portugal, Camões, and the Portuguese Communities!
It's a day filled with love for our home, the place where our tour company thrives, where our families and friends reside, where our children grow, where diverse wildlife coexists, and where countless visitors find magic every year.
Every corner of this country holds a piece of our hearts! (Lisbon included 🤪)
One of our tour guides nailed it during our "20 Questions with Taste Porto" series, saying: "Portugal changes as much as you’re willing to explore it. And a 30-minute drive can make you feel you’re visiting a different planet."
Have you experienced that magic too?
The diminutive size of Portugal, a land area about the size of the U.S. state of Indiana, might suggest that there is not much culinary diversity. Nothing could be further from the truth and you’ll start to notice that if you cross the country from North to South or fly to the islands. There are almost as many types of sausage, bread, cheese, wine, beer, and conventual sweets … as there are geographical regions.
The best part? These diverse flavors often come together at one table, celebrating the shared joy of a shared meal in a shared country.
Here's to you, Portugal! Keep stealing our hearts (and stomachs) time and time again!
Obrigada!
