Lisbon's authentic Food and Wine tour with a Winemaker
Description
Are you ready to experience Portugal’s culture through delicious and traditional food paired with authentic wines? Between the charming city center and Lisbon's oldest neighborhood, Alfama, I've discovered a joyful path that I can't wait to share with you! Our journey start at the charming Praça do Comercio: stroll and relax in one of Europe’s most historic "Café restaurante", established in 1782! Taste distinct Portuguese wines from various regions—six in total along our tour (enough to keep the happiness up!)—paired with 11 delicious petiscos. No need for dinner afterward, I guarantee it! Admire its monuments, embrace the Fado heritage, marvel at the unique azulejos, wander through enchanting alleyways and discover a traditional "tasca" (family-run tavern) that will thrill your taste buds! I want you to feel like a local, experiencing traditional food, authentic wines touching the art, culture, meeting with the people of the place, and of course... having a lot of fun!

Itinerary
Our first tasting session takes place at the ancient "Terreiro do Paço", where we find the oldest and most famous literary café in the capital, Martinho da Arcada (1782).
Continuing your exploration along Rua da Alfandega and the Largo do Chafariz de Dentro, you will be able to breathe and relive the old city with its monuments, stories, and alleyways in one of Portugal's most authentic neighborhoods.
Afterwards we are going to visit a typical Portuguese place-food (tasca) called A Muralha Vinhos e Tapas to start the second tasting session. Images and illustrations that can convey knowledge and history will be used to support our tasting.

Enrico provided a wonderful and informative tour. He brought us to places that we never would have found on our own. The personalized experience included going into a private room where he an I played a little bit of music together. The food was excellent and the wine was great. His RICO wine was among our favorites. We felt like we made a friend while we were in Lisbon and learned a lot about the area. Highly recommended.
Enrico was very knowledgeable and brought us to several places that we never would have known about. He introduced us to new and fabulous food and wine and we felt like we made a friend in Lisbon. It was a great way to start our vacation. He made sure we knew where to meet, was right on time and clearly knew many partners in the city. We felt like insiders. We would highly recommend this tour.
Rico is a wonderful host and very knowledgeable and engaging. We enjoyed all the fabulous food and wine! Would definitely recommend if you’re visiting Lisbon.
We had wonderful evening with Rico. We experienced great food and wine. We especially loved his own wine! He also told us interesting historical facts. Rico is so personable and made us instantly feel like old friends.
Rico delivered an amazing enogastronomic experience!! We tasted authentic traditional dishes, enjoyed excellent portoguese wines (the Porto Quinta do Noval Tawny was outstanding) and learned so much thanks to his impressive cultural and historical knowledge. Fun, engaging, and truly genuine, an unforgettable way to discover the real Lisbon. Very recommended!! :)
Rico was a fantastic host, we had the most amazing evening tasting great food & great wine. The second venue in particular was a perfect setting to see the night in and eat/drink whilst learning all about the history of wine. Rico spoke good English and could understand everything and would thoroughly recommend this to anyone, friends, family, business trip, etc. - no caps on amount of wine, port, food, etc. - honestly could not fault the experience at all.
I highly recommend Rico's food and wine tour. My husband and I got to experience food that we would not have tried otherwise because of Rico's knowledge of the best of the local food products, and the wine pairings were all perfect. He was very informative about the local history of Lisbon as a whole and Alfama in particular. We ended up the evening watching a Fado performance and having a glass of Ginja and dessert. Rio was very generous with his time, and it was like being out for an evening with a friend. He was also very considerate of our dietary requests. Don't miss this tour if you're spending any time in Lisbon!
Wonderful walking tour of Lisbon. Excellent food and great company with Rico. He was excellent about explaining where we were and the history of what we were seeing and eating. Couldn't recommend him any more! 5 star!!
I had such a great experience and felt so privileged to have a wine tour with an actual wine maker. Enrico is so talented and knowledgeable. He’s also very kind and patient. I would love to do more of his tours and would absolutely recommend this food and wine tour.
We had a wonderful evening with Rico! He shared some wines that he made himself! The dishes they were paired with were amazing. It was so interesting to see how the wine enhanced or changed the flavor of the food we shared. We had a nice walk through Lisbon to taste a few wines and have some amazing food. We started as strangers and left as family.
