Things to do in Northern Portugal, Portugal: The Best Cooking Classes

April 14, 2022 Malia Yoakum

Brimming with both history and natural wonder, Northern Portugal is home to Porto, the city that gave the country its name, as well as the important ancient town of Braga. Also here is Peneda-Gerês, Portugal’s only national park, a gorgeous wilderness area of mountains, gorges, water features and wildlife. Many picturesque villages and manor houses dot the countryside. Two areas are UNESCO World Heritage Sites: the Alto Douro Wine Region, and the Paleolithic rock art in the Côa Valley.

An amazing, authentic cultural and cooking experience. The day started with Vitor driving us to a local market while giving us some history of the area and suggestions for places to visit and eat along the way. We learned how to pick out fish and seafood and selected some amazing ingredients for our cooking experience. We went back to the Cook in Ribeira kitchen where we enjoyed some wine and worked with Vitor to cook up an amazing meal from appetizer through to dessert. Vitor shared so much information about Portugal and Portuguese cooking and was so easy to talk to and learn from. We will definitely take another cooking class with Vitor the next time we are in Porto and highly recommend the experience!
