Porto · DESSERT TOURS
This is the shortlist to send a friend: 4 dessert tours worth the money, each with its price, its traveller verdict and the one thing to know before you commit.
Cálem Cellar in Porto pairs three styles of port with goat cheese, São Jorge cheese, chocolate, and a guided interactive museum visit.
“The tour itself was very interesting and we learned a lot about the different types of Port wines. The tasting portion was delicious and it was some of the best Ports we tasted on our visit.”
Porto’s WOW The Chocolate Experience by 20|20 takes you through chocolate history, bean-to-bar making, and tastings, with a live factory stop.
“Fun experience! Interesting museum with great facts and interactive elements. Staff were polite and helpful, I would definitely go again.”
Porto pastry tasting tour with a local guide. Taste 8 pastries at 3 shops with drink pairings, plus a short walking route in 2 hours.
“Edna was our guide and she was lovely. Very knowledgeable and friendly. My daughter and I felt like we were just chatting with a friend and eating cakes. We didn't have to travel far and wide to experience the variety of cakes/pastries on offer and ended up in a lovely place with a great atmosphere. Really glad we booked on. A slightly later start time than 9am would be a bonus but that's only because I struggle to eat early on in the day!”
Port wine and chocolate pairing in Vila Nova de Gaia, with three Quevedo tastings and Porto-made bean-to-bar chocolates in 40 minutes.
“Erg leuk de combinatie met port en chocolade. Het was lekker en goed uitgelegd om de verschillen te kunnen proeven. We hadden een privé proeverij. Dat hadden we niet verwacht”
Cellars, cruises, day trips and everything between.
