PORTO’S FOOD & WINE ATTRACTIONS
Bolhão Market
The Bolhão market has always put flavour in the centre stage in Porto. Take a stroll through its recently renovated open-air lanes, to appreciate the best traditional vendors and trendy gourmet stalls. “Fresh off the sea love!” you might hear some funny vendor cries as well!
Visit siteBom Sucesso Market
Porto is a market city, and the Bom Sucesso market is a makeover success story. Originally from the 50s, the building has been transformed into an oasis for foodies, welcoming show cooking events, workshops and concerts. An ideal spot to eat, drink and enjoy.
Visit siteFoz Market
The best way to learn about a city is to get right into its daily routines. That’s why a visit to Foz Market is mandatory. In the middle of this bustling place, between fruit and flower stalls, fishmongers and butchers, you can taste the city’s essence and truly feel like a local.
Visit siteIVDP
The Institute of Port Wine. Sounds a bit official, doesn’t it? There's a good reason for it, understanding the science behind Port Wine production, opens the palate to new experiences. However, this institute is not just about science, there's a shop, tasting room and an enjoyable exhibition route.
Visit sitePort Wine Museum
Can you taste Port’s history? Can you feel the vibrant tones of centuries upon centuries of tradition? Can you see the deep colours that bathe Douro’s most treasured craft? Learning about Port will open doors to its appreciation. Cheers to that at Port Wine Museum!

Fine cuisine is no stranger to Porto, in fact, it has come to stay. There are several Michelin-starred restaurants in the city, each one of them boasting unique specialities. Scrumptiousness is served!
Terraces
There are many different ways and places to experience the best of food and wine in Porto, however, sometimes the appeal of a simple sunshine-bathed terrace speaks louder. Alongside the river, from the Quays to the river mouth there are plenty of delicious “esplanadas” to choose from.
Essência do Vinho
This is the main wine experience event in Portugal, so you won’t want to miss it while in Porto. Essência do Vinho is not just about wine tasting. It’s a showcase of the best producers and a rich programme of wine masterclasses. Cheers to that!
Visit siteAquela Kombucha
For those thirsty for a wellness experience while in Porto, we recommend a visit to Aquela Kombucha, the first kombucha factory in Porto and one of the pioneers in the country. Fancy a cuppa?
