The quaint and rustic Herdade da Matinha located in a wooded valley about 100 miles south of Lisbon, is the perfect ‘get away from it all’ location you have been dreaming about. The Herdade’s open kitchen is a relaxing setting for laughing and sipping wine as you learn how to prepare authentic, local Portuguese cuisine. Alfredo, your chef and instructor, will lead you through hands-on cooking classes using local ingredients unique to the area, sometimes from their own garden.
