Lisbon Food Tour: Pesticos and Wine Tasting

About this experience

Lisbon Food Tour: Petiscos and Wine Tasting This guided food tour takes you through Lisbon's authentic neighbourhoods to discover the city's petisco culture at four carefully selected local venues. Your expert guide leads the walk, introducing traditional Portuguese small plates alongside regional wine tastings, from creamy local cheeses paired with Port wine to slow-cooked pork accompanied by an Alentejo wine tasting, all whilst sharing the story of Lisbon's culinary heritage. The tour features over 14 food tastings across venues that locals frequent, including traditional mercearias, family-run tascas, and neighbourhood bakeries. Each stop reveals a different aspect of Portuguese food culture, from reinvented classics such as grilled octopus to the famous Pastéis de Nata served warm from a local pastry shop. At each venue, your guide serves as a knowledgeable host, offering regional wine tastings as part of the experience and providing personalised recommendations for further food discoveries in the city. The guide speaks English, French, Spanish, or German. Groups are limited to 10 guests maximum to maintain an intimate atmosphere as you walk through historic cobbled streets and climb Lisbon's characteristic hills. For those exploring Portugal's food scene further, consider a Porto food walking tour to compare the culinary traditions of both cities.
