Fabio led our cooking class and it was so much fun. He led us around the farm and we picked fresh fruit as we walked along. The food we made was delicious and lots of wine made right there at the farm. Its out in the country, but that is what makes it so special. Don’t hesitate to book this one.

We read the reviews of how fabulous this experience is with Alfredo. Well, his energetic son Fabio is also an amazing host and teacher. We loved the farm tour and the food we made together was exceptional in quality as is the quinta's wine. Make the trip!

This was the most lovely day! Fabio was so kind to share his farm with us. We enjoyed meeting all his animals; from a flock of geese to his many dogs, to his resident cow, they were all wonderful. We picked lemons, plums, and strawberries and then used our bounty in the dishes we prepared for lunch. His kitchen is spacious and seven of us enjoyed cooking together. The food was absolutely delicious. I will try and recreate his tomato soup once back home. We enjoyed cold pressed olive oil from the olives on his property, along with a crisp white wine they make with the grapes they grow. The best part of the day was getting a glimpse into Fabio’s love of family. Fabio’s Dad, Alfredo, was ill and in the hospital and it was obvious how much it upset Fabio. Fabio’s wife and two daughters made an appearance during our visit and clearly are the loves of his life. This is a special family and a special farm. Don’t hesitate to book this outing. You will love every minute.

What a fantastic experience at the Farm! Alfredo’s son spent the day with us as Alfredo was out - and he did a fantastic job! We started with a variety of cheeses and, toured the farm, met the animals, picked lemons. Plums, strawberries, and them prepared an amazing meal - highly recommend for an anyone!

We thoroughly enjoyed an amazing experience, starting with a delicious snack prepared for us by Fabio. A tour of the farm followed this and we were accompanied by their much beloved, well behaved dogs. We all participated in preparing a wonderful meal that we enjoyed immensely. Fabio made our experience so special, telling us stories about life on the farm. We highly recommend this cooking class as a must do if visiting the Douro Valley.

This day was absolute perfection! The highlight of our trip and the most incredible experience of all of our travels. Having the opportunity to spend the day with Alfredo and all his beautiful animals was a pure gift. Alfredo is an extremely kind, knowledgeable, warm and inviting soul that has a wealth of intelligence about organic farming, cooking, land preservation, etc...He is the most hard working dedicated man. He has endless amounts of energy and passion. We learned a 4 course tradition Portuguese meal that was absolutely delicious. We couldn't have asked for a more perfect day! Melissa and Mike

I would highly recommend this cooking & eating experience where the owner, Alfredo, welcomes you to his beautiful property (vineyard, fruit trees, farm animals and even a lilipath pond!) We had portuguese cheese, bread and wine as soon as we arrived. Then made tomatoe soup, a cod dish and 2 portugese desserts. We had a guided tour of the grounds and the views were astonishing. We feel lile we now have a special bond with Alfredo… Very authentic connection and experience. Such a gorgeous setting and historic farm buildings. A dream.
