C&D Porto Tours is a Vila Nova de Gaia–based operator specializing in wine, culinary, and walking experiences across Porto and Gaia. The business offers a curated selection of six experiences: Walking Tour & Port Wine Cellar (3 hours), Pastel de Nata Workshop Gaia (maximum 10 participants), Port Wine Tour | 3 Producers | 7 Tastings (2.5 hours), Pastel de Nata | Pastry Class in Porto (maximum 12 participants), Local Market & Cooking Class / ShowCooking, and Porto City Walking Tour (3 hours). Each itinerary focuses on local culture and hands‑on learning — from visits to 17th‑century winemakers and multiple Port tastings to practical pastry classes where participants make dough and bake Pastéis de Nata.
Guided visits are conducted by local experts who provide historical context, production techniques, and tasting notes. Workshop experiences keep small class sizes to ensure personal attention and active participation. Port wine tours visit multiple producers and include structured tastings to demonstrate stylistic differences and production methods. Culinary offerings combine a market tour with showcooking and recipe instruction for traditional dishes such as cod and Pastel de Nata.
C&D Porto Tours operates in the riverside area connecting Porto and Vila Nova de Gaia; several itineraries cross the Dom Luís I bridge as part of the route. Published trip summaries list clear durations and participant limits for planning.
