Join in with the cooking and learn to prepare traditional Portuguese dishes with a modern twist. Master the classic Codfish à Brás, dive into the flavors of Red Beans Portuguese Salad, and savor the rich taste of Clams Bulhão Pato. For those who love veggies, the unique Vegetables à Brás style, crafted with seasonal produce, is a must-try.

Cap off your culinary adventure with a delectable dessert wine and chocolate pairing, playing a tasting game that highlights the production, origin, and historical significance of each wine. This dive into Portuguese cuisine and culture guarantees that every dish shares a unique story.
