Itinerary
After meeting your private guide, start the tour with a rich coffee and an "ouriço" (regional pastry delicacy) and understand the cultural importance of coffees in the early 20th century and and the connection of pastry with convents.
Find out why traditional portuguese cuisine is so rich and what other civilizations that have passed through this territory have added to the Portuguese gastronomy, as we walk to the Ericeira Fresh Market. Enjoy the atmosphere of this market, where farmers and fishermen sell their freshest goods.
We continue to walk through narrow and picturesque streets and alleys to a restaurant where we will taste some Portuguese products from different regions of Portugal accompanying all this with a good red wine.
At this surf interpretive centre we will understand how this sport and its worldwide distinction have been changing the socio-cultural and economic dynamics of Ericeira while living an immersive experience. And then we will visit the old shellfish and sea urchin farms.
At the fishermen's beach we will meet these "sea wolves"and their fishing "artifacts". We'll see them coming home after a hard/long fishing day or preparing for tomorrow. Here we will enjoy the freshness captured daily for lunch.
At this tavern, we'll make a toast to our health with a natural medicine that have their origin in the convents of monks in the medival period.

We could not recommend this tour more. Our guide, Ângelo, truly became a local friend with recommendations, advice, and so much knowledge and passion to share. We got to see many beautiful sights in Ericeira, eat delicious food from local establishments, and learn about the history and culture of this amazing village. We loved this tour!
Hi Olivia, I read now your review. Thank you so much 🙏. Thank you for your kind words and support. It was a pleasure to be your local host/ friend in Ericeira. Thank you Ângelo Taste Ericeira Food Tours
The Ericeira local food tour with Angelo was an amazing experience! Even though we had been in Ericeira for a few days beforehand, Angelo took us to all new spots frequented by locals that we never would have been to. The food and drink were so good! He was extremely kind and knowledgeable about Ericeira and its culture, as well as Lisbon and Portugal in general. He made the tour very accommodating for my family and I, including our 4 month old baby. I would recommend booking this tour at the beginning of your trip, because Angelo had many recommendations for afterward. I couldn’t recommend this tour enough, thank you Angelo!
WoW 😲 Thank you very much for your kind words and review 🙏. It was a true pleasure. Thank you very much for your support 🙏 Ângelo André Taste Ericeira Food Tours

WoW 😲 Thank you very much for your kind words and review 🙏. It was a pleasure. Thank you very much for your support 🙏 Ângelo André Taste Ericeira Food Tours
I’m giving this 5/5 only because 10/5 isn’t an option. Angelo is an amazing tour guide with immense knowledge not only of Ericeira but of Portugal and the history of both. His selection of stops on the tour were outstanding. The food simply kept getting better and the wine selections were delicious. I cannot recommend this tour enough on your trip to Ericeira.
Hi, Bom dia from Ericeira, Thank you very much for your kind words, review and work support 🙏. It was a pleasure... And thank you for everything. Ângelo André Taste Ericeira Food Tours
Angelo was warm, thoughtful, incredibly knowledgeable, and spoke perfect English. He taught us so much — not just about Ericeira, but about Portugal as a whole. We learned about the area’s history, culture, food, wine, and local traditions in a way that felt personal, engaging, and authentic. Ericeira itself is a gorgeous town with an amazing vibe. It reminded me of Southern California in the 1970s and 80s, like visiting Pismo Beach — relaxed, beautiful, full of character, and filled with great local spots. Angelo showed us hidden gems we never would have found on our own, including places locals actually go, and that made the experience even more memorable. This tour was far more than just a food tour — it gave us a deeper appreciation for Ericeira and made our entire trip there better. Angelo has such a beautiful approach as a guide: welcoming, insightful, generous with his knowledge, and clearly proud of sharing the best of his town and country. My wife and I had a wonderful experience, and we would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting the area — even if you are staying in Lisbon, it is absolutely worth making the trip. We wish Angelo all the best and are very grateful for such an incredible day.
Good afternoon from Portuguese California, Wow. Thank you so much for your kind words, for this review which was written with heart, and for all your support.

The tour with Angela in Ericeira was fantastic! He was incredibly knowledgeable and took us to some amazing food spots we definitely would have missed on our own. The conversation was great, and it made for such a fun and memorable day. A wonderful experience all around! I can not recommend this tour enough.
Bom dia (good morning ) from Ericeira, Thank you very much for your kind words, review and support 🙏. It was a pleasure to meet you and to have been your local host in Ericeira. Ângelo André Taste Ericeira Food Tours
Angelo was a fantastic guide. Very friendly and extremely knowledgeable of the culture, food and history. He took the time to ask us what we wanted to do or see and organized the tour around our interests. Angelo lead us all around Ericeira, off the beaten path and through the small streets where we could experience the true culture of the small town. We also got to enjoy authentic Portuguese food (and wine) at all of the restaurants. His insight and choice of places to show us demonstrated his passion for his country and his culture. He even gave us suggestions of places and restaurants to go to during our travels to Lisbon, Sintra and Porto! We couldn’t be more pleased with our tour and all of what we had the opportunity to experience. Well worth our time!!
