By increasing visitor demand for local food and wine, food and wine tourism contribute to the long-term sustainability of local agriculture, food systems, communities, and culture.
Portugal is a country of solid food and wine tradition, the excellent quality of its wines, allied to gastronomy diversity and historical richness, features the perfect Food and Wine Tours destination.

A Food and Wine Tours is the perfect trip for travelers who seek out culinary and wine experiences to broaden their understanding of a culture or lifestyle while traveling.
Food tourism includes taking cooking classes, engaging in wineries visits and wine tasting; venturing into tapas tours; participating in specialty dining experiences; olive oil and cheese degustation, and visiting farms and local markets. The focus of the trip is food.
On the other hand, Wine Tourism is to pass through, the villages, look for local producers, and enjoy the buttery cheeses accompanied by fruity wines of Beira Interior.
Gastronomy and Wine tourism represents an opportunity to revitalize and diversify tourism, promote local economic development, involve many professional sectors, and bring new uses to the primary industry.

Based on the assumption that Portugal is the selected destination for your Food and Wine Tour, our first planning stage starts with a conference call.
In the second stage, we need to determine the length of the trip, the number of guests and profile, and the vacation season. Having this information clarified, our travel advisors reunite to create a personalized plan based on the collected information.
Cheese lovers, for example, can make the most of a Food and Wine Tour in Portugal. From fresh to cured, creamy or semi-hard, from sheep's, cow's, or goat's milk, the variety is enormous and still tasty. Taste the different types, flavors, and textures and understand why Portuguese cheese is so famous.
If one appreciates olive oil tasting, our travel advisor will focus on producing olive oil areas so ones can enjoy Olive oil tasting. Like Portuguese wines, olive oils' variety of tastes and aromas is notable. A tasting can sharpen one palate and allow identification of the preferred olive oil. Choosing an olive oil can be as complex as choosing a wine: there are monovarietal (like Esporão Cordovil) and blends (like our Esporão Selecção). Some come from ripe olives, others using green olives, some from various degrees of ripeness, and others with an emphasis on the terroir.
For dessert fans, the options are endless and mouthwatering. Even if the famed pastel de nata is seriously delicious, one cannot miss Portuguese sweets like queijada, pão de ló, and pudim abade de priscos.
Yes, food plays an essential role on a Food and Wine Tour, though don't forget, a Food and Wine Tour likely includes a bunch of wine tastings and degustation menus. Consider it before assigning for this type of tour if you have kids. Traveling with kids during a foodie journey can be challenging and eventually not appropriate.
