A wonder for the senses
The westernmost point of Europe and an idyllic destination in all rights, Vibrant Portugal, is a wonder for the senses. Bem-vindo to a land of cobblestone villages, captivating scenery, and culinary delights. Spend the week exploring the lush Douro Valley, home to sprawling vineyards and coastal towns full of history and culture.
Join us as we explore creative Mediterranean cuisine, delight in a private boat ride up the Douro River, indulge in a 2* Michelin dining experience, and get to know some of the country’s best vineyards and most authentic fishing villages. The spirit of Portugal will shine through as you take in the sounds of Fado and help yourself to one more pastel de nata.
Explore Portugal’s varied flavours
Simple yet delicious food is what Portugal does best, whether in its colorful markets or Michelin Star restaurants. Indulge your culinary palate with fine food and wine.
Marvel at the magnificent architecture
Explore Sintra and Cascais, soaking in the impressions of Portugal’s illustrious past. Wander the vibrant streets of Lisbon and Porto, stopping to take in the views of these charming cities at one of their many miradouros.
Revel in the lush landscapes
From expansive vineyards in the world’s oldest demarcated and controlled wine region – the Douro Valley – to the cityscapes of Porto and Lisbon, all the way to the glorious palaces of Sintra.
Explore Portugal's varied flavors amongst breathtaking backdrops and revel in the knowledge passed down for generations at traditional cooking classes.
At Delectable Destinations, we offer carefully planned itineraries with a wonderful mix of culture, history, luxury, and beauty. Reveling in vibrant Portugal means getting to know the rhythms, the produce, and the people that give this Iberian nation its unique heartbeat.
This exclusive culinary and culture tour offers you the opportunity to partake in activities ranging from vineyard tours to a hands-on cooking class, privately guided walking city tours and immersive cultural experiences. We’ll be sampling local favorites such as Alentejo salpicao sausage, Ginjinha de Óbidos (sour cherry brandy), and Azores Sao Jorge cheese.
By the time we bid each other Adeus, you’ll be more than familiar with the Portuguese philosophy of cooking with simplicity and head over heels for this picturesque European nation. Prepare for an adventure that will bring fairytales and your palate to life!
