This was a highlight of our time in Porto! I cannot recommend it highly enough! Fabio is such a gracious host who went above and beyond to make our day memorable! From greeting us with a spread of brunch to running out to grab us persimmons to try that we saw in the distance, and sending us home with strawberries and tomatoes we picked from his greenhouse, not to mention the incredible experience of cooking with him...It was exceptional!

Amazing experience!
Fantastic time being hosted by Fabio at his family farm. The dishes we cooked were fascinating and delicious, and his hospitality went above and beyond. We loved exploring the farm and what he produces, and came away with some delicious extra strawberries and tomatoes!

Best experience in Portugal
Fabio was the MOST incredible host. He gave us a 5 star, extraordinary and unique experience. His other guests had a medical emergency so it ended up just being my husband and me. Fabio did not cut corners or limit our experience. He put out a full welcoming spread, took us in a comprehensive tour of his farm which included picking lemons, collecting eggs, picking herbs, strawberries, tomatoes and peppers. We got to meet his farm animals and had his cute dogs and cats follow us around the farm. The cooking class and meals were unbelievable — fresh, tasty and so much fun to make together. I will be making these dishes for friend and family for years to come. This was our BEST activity and experience in Portugal.

Great day!
Fabio is wonderful! The reviews are very accurate. The farm is fun for everyone. The food and hospitality are amazing! There was so much food! He will also work with you if you have any allergies. We have a nut allergy and it was no problem. It's a great day!

Extraordinary!
Fabulous experience. Fabio is amazing - he runs the whole farm with its greenhouse vegetables, animals, orchard and a vineyard. And he’s the chef for the cooking class which was fun with very traditional dishes. His stories of the farm including fire, loss and rebuilding are absolutely incredible.

Warm and delicious homey experience on a family farm 10/10!
This was absolutely a highlight of our 10 days in Portugal. We learned about the region's culture, history, and food! Fabio was so warm and welcoming - we felt instantly like old friends. Recommend blocking a whole day - Fabio fed us throughout the day, we didn't have enough time to eat it all and we could have stayed to chat for hours more.
Fabio helped us to coordinate trains to and from Porto and a taxi to pick us up at the train station and drop off us at the train station. It was easy and relaxing.
We came home and immediately started recreating the dishes we learned. YUM!
We feel so good to be supporting a family owned and operated farm.
We are so grateful for the incredible day we had together and will remember it always! We hope to stay in touch and will definitely refer our friends and family.

Our visit to Fabio’s farm in the Douro Valley was unforgettable. After losing much of his land to a fire and his father, who built the farm, Fabio rebuilt with strength and hope — planting olive and fruit trees where grapevines once stood.
We spent the day strawberry picking, collecting eggs, and later cooking traditional dishes in his kitchen. Fabio’s warmth, resilience, and love for the land made this experience truly special — a beautiful reminder of renewal and the spirit of the Douro Valley.
