Our preferred Cooking Class in Lisbon combines Sintra, an extraordinary town with a surreal mixture of history and fantasy, protected by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site, with Cascais. This formerly quaint fishing village became a popular resort favored by European nobility and kings in the early 20th century. Today it is a colorful cosmopolitan town with elegant pedestrian streets, luxuriant villas, fashionable shops, restaurants, and bars.
Located only 30 minutes from Lisbon, upon arrival to Cascais, relish a walking visit to the local market led by your Chef.
The next stop will be at a charming, noble house, where the cooking class takes place with the guidance of who knows the best secrets of Portuguese cuisine.
After lunch, with the assistance of an expert guide, explore Sintra historical center and venture into a private guided visit to the extraordinary and emblematic Pena Palace.
The Azores is unique! Our Cooking Class in the Azores is equally an outstanding experience!

Twenty Years ago, Portugal Deluxe started promoting private cooking classes in Portugal, being the pioneers of Food and Wine Tours in Portugal. Our first Chef, currently two-Michelin star, Chef José Avillez, was a gem and proudly shared some of the best secrets of Portuguese gastronomy.
Don't get frustrated if you fail the opportunity to meet Chef José Avilez. We still have an extraordinary team of locals and professionals eager to host you and reveal their tricks. Ideally held on privately owned properties, the cooking classes can take place at a local market, noble houses, family homes, wineries, or hotels.
Whether held by a local with excellent cuisine skills or a professional, our Cooking Classes in Portugal should be intimate experiences personalized to the client's dietary preferences and restrictions.
