Find out about the tradition of Port wine and Portuguese gastronomy in this 3-hour guided visit into the heart of Porto city. Meet your guide and join us to experience the city's flavours: the wine, the gastronomy, and the canned sardines. First, you will have the opportunity to visit one of the most emblematic markets of Oporto: the Bolhão Market. With four main entrances, its construction is characterized by its monumentality, typical of neoclassical architecture. Lose yourself in the aromas, colours, and sound so typical of this city market. A little further up, we present the renowned Café Majestic, a revivalist style of French inspiration, and icon in the city. More than a cafe, Majestic tells the story of Porto in the twentieth century and was home to many political gatherings and debates of ideas. This was the Porto "Belle Epoque" of writers and artists. Arriving downtown, it's time to sample Portugal's famous canned sardines. Prepare yourself to taste the best Portuguese sardines available in a quaint location in Porto. Further down, taste some unique Portuguese jams, also in a commented tasting. Try a unique flavour experience of fruit jams in tubes. We then head across the bridge to the other shore, Vila Nova de Gaiam, where the world-famous port wine is produced. Crafted exclusively from grapes of the region adjacent to the Douro River, this fortified wine is produced and stored in the cellars of Vila Nova de Gaia, hence being known as "Port Wine". So you are in just the right place to drink this nectar and you will have the opportunity to sample a few Ports during a commented tasting in a place and brand of excellency. After the 3-hour tour walking around Porto, we end the tour in an authentic local tavern where you can enjoy a light lunch of Portuguese delicacies with a meal of cheeses & smoked meat selection accompanied by the best house wine. Bon Appetit! This small group tour of maximum of 10 participants.
