A Local’s Petiscada: small plates, shared
This tour concentrates on the custom of petiscar—sampling a sequence of small, shareable dishes rather than the usual oversized sandwiches—to experience Porto’s flavors in a communal, measured way.
Viewpoints as dining rooms
The route moves between Porto’s best viewpoints so each tasting happens against a backdrop of steep-roofed streets and river vistas, with plenty of time set aside for photos and a leisurely pace.
Three curated stops with wine
João curates three local food experiences—starting with an aperitif and savory items, progressing through beef, fish and smoked elements, and concluding with a Portuguese dessert and coffee—each paired with regional wine.

It’s designed as a private, photo-friendly walk that privileges shared plates and conversation over hurried tastings.
