The experience
Portugal’s best-known pastry, baked by hand from scratch, with local drinks alongside the lesson.
A chef-led, hands-on class walks the group through making pastéis de nata from scratch — the dough, the custard filling and the high-heat bake that gives the tart its blistered top — in a cosy kitchen rather than a demonstration-only setup.
The class pairs the baking with a tasting of Portuguese drinks: Port wine, Ginjinha cherry liqueur, homemade juice and coffee, alongside the tarts each participant takes home warm from the oven.
