Features:

Crash course on Lisbon: Start in Baixa, where your guide explains how an 18th-century earthquake reshaped the city and its streets—literally and culturally.

Taste the flavors of global trade: Taste a codfish cake with vinho verde as your guide explains how Portugal’s maritime empire brought flavors like spices, sugar, and bacalhau back home.

Tascas and revolutions: Bite into bifana at a no-frills tasca in Bairro Alto and hear how these taverns served factory workers by day and fueled revolution by night.

Sips that shaped culture: Sample port, ginjinha, and red wine while learning how each drink became part of Lisbon’s social rituals—from after-work shots to royal toasts.

Old school local shops: Peek into gourmet stores where locals still shop for salted cod, cheese, and cured meats, learning how Portugal’s empire fed its cuisine.

You’ll leave with a full belly, new pairings to brag about, and a deeper understanding of how food and history go hand in hand in Lisbon.
