Traditional Cooking Class, Farm Tour & Lunch in the Douro Valley
At Quinta de Louredo, we invite you to experience Portuguese hospitality at its finest—a day filled with flavors, stories, and hands-on cooking, all set against the backdrop of our family farm.
Tastings & Welcome – Our organic green wine and olive oil, paired with local cheeses, olives, fresh juices, and artisanal bread.
Farm Tour & Harvesting – Wander through our land, meet our animals, and pick fresh ingredients.
Traditional Cooking Class – Cook a three-course Portuguese feast, just as my father loved to do.
️ Shared Meal – Enjoy your creations in a warm, welcoming setting. Many guests tell us they arrive as strangers but leave as family.
Perfect for Families – Kids love running free, meeting animals, and getting hands-on with farm life!
More than just a class, this is a story of resilience. A year ago, we lost nearly everything to wildfire—and before that, my father, Alfredo. By joining us, you help rebuild a dream, one meal at a time.

(Subject to Option Inclusions)Itinerary
Step into the heart of Portuguese culinary magic with our immersive cooking class at Quinta de Louredo in charming Freixo. I'm Alfredo, your guide to the world of organic farming and the beauty of our panoramic farm. Our journey begins with a farm stroll, connecting with vibrant fruits, veggies, and aromatic herbs. Picture this: a delightful aperitif moment with homegrown olives, fresh bread, and a sip of our refreshing green wine or grape juice. Celebrate our farm's richness with a tasting experience of our exquisite olive oil. Then, dive into hands-on cooking, crafting a three-course Portuguese feast – fish, farm-fresh meat, or a tasty vegetarian option. Throughout the cooking class, I'll share the wisdom passed down from my beloved grandmother, who instilled in me a deep appreciation for Portuguese cuisine and the simple joys of life. Join us around the table to savor the flavors of Quinta de Louredo. Consider our day trip package for a full countryside experience. Come, let's cook up joy, flavor, and the rustic charm of our farm together!
