Andrew started off the event by having us walk around his farm while explaining the different fruits and vegetables he grows all around the property. Andre greeted us by making Poncha and served a bunch of local Madeiran food all made using vegetables from his farm. The Espatada was absolutely amazing. I'd definitely recommend this experience.”

He gave us a tour of the farm where we picked strawberries, met his cow, pigs, hens, roosters, and sheep. For our lunch we prepared a traditional soup, a traditional codfish main, and two desserts. He is in the process of expanding his home to include guest rooms. Seems like it will be a wonderful place to stay. Throughout the day he told us about his father who started the farm, his family, and Portugal. If this sounds interesting to you, reserve…”
Review of Madeira’s Santo da Serra market tour, with Sunday shopping, 4x4 mountain roads, village views, pricing, tips, and drawbacks.
“My favourite part was the market. The authentic food offerings at the market were amazing. Some people there don’t speak English, so communication barriers made pricing difficult at times. Very relaxed atmosphere. Our guide told us we had 45 minutes, but we exceeded that and it wasn’t a problem. Some vendors only take cash so be ready for that. We were not prepared for that. The part I didn’t really like was the 4 x 4 vehicle. The only spot that was comfortable was the row of three. The backseats had very limited visibility for the sites. There were times where it was safe to stand up, but not always.…”

They led us through a variety of meditation practices, which helped us to relax and connect with ourselves.”
Review of Albufeira’s 4-hour 4x4 safari to Paderne and Alte, with castle ruins, village sights, honey, firewater, swimming, and countryside views.

Review of Régua’s wine, farm lunch, Douro cruise, and train tour, with practical advice on value, timing, food, transport, and who should go.
“If you are looking for a tour from Regua, this is your answer. This was a fantastic tour. We were looking for a tour that left from Regua where we were staying, and could only find them leaving from Porto. Then we found this. It was an intimate tour with only 8 people. The tasting at Quinta dos Mattos was really great. They gave us more tasting than advertised and the surprise was a 40 year Tawny Port that was amazing. The lunch that followed at Quinta Da Laceira in Guiaes, Vila Real, was also really good with three course meal and two more wines. Following lunch we had a…”

Pick Algarve oranges, make marmalade, and share a home-cooked lunch with a farming family near Silves in this warm half-day tour.
“We had the most beautiful day with Joao and Maria. First, learned about the orange orchard and the workings of the farm as we picked baskets of oranges. We then started the process of making marmalade. As the luscious fruit simmered, we ate a traditional Portuguese lunch prepared with love by Maria. Our hosts were so warm and generous - we never wanted to leave! It was one of the most authentic experiences we ever had and will certainly remain as a loving memory to cherish always!”
