Orange Picking Experience

Highly Recommend!Super lovely hosts, beautiful farm, delicious food

We had a super lovely time visiting an organic orange farm in the Algarve. Gloria, Joao and Maria were fantastic hosts -- it really felt like we were guests at their home, not visitors on a tour! It was an informative and enjoyable experience: the farm was beautiful, the oranges were so delicious, they served us an amazing Portuguese lunch, and were really kind about accomodating our group as well (a few of us were late due to a flat tire). And we all left with oranges and a delicious jar of marmelade as well! :D Would highly recommend this experience for anyone who is interested in local produce and sustainable agriculture, as well as good food and kind people!

Cataplana Cooking Class

Hands down the best experience in the Algarve. 

We did the market tour and cooking in her home and we had the best day. We were a group of 6 from 8 years old to 75 years old. Paula is a lovely woman with such a kind, inviting and approachable demeanor. And the food!!!!! She guides you through selections at the market then takes them to her traditional and beautiful home to prepare multiple courses that she encourages you to make at home by involving you in the process as much or as little as you like. She offers wine aplenty and spends so much time with you. A truly delightful woman who loves sharing her culture!

Farm to Table Experience Algarve

This was the perfect start to our Algarve holiday. A truly unique and authentic experience with unique and authentic local people. The guide was friendly and knowledgeable and we felt at home from beginning to end. We and the kids all enjoyed the orange picking and jam making and the lunch was wholesome and delicious. Highly recommend for those looking for an alternative to the usual tourist rush and gloss.

Don't hesitate to book a unique adventure with Algarve Food Experience! Way beyond our expectations

The incredible food and caliber of people on Gloria's staff were the highlight for our group of 9. Gloria was an excellent host with an impressive knowledge of the Algarve and many other areas of Portugal and beyond. Our bike tour leader did an great job shepherding our group through the local villages while disseminating keen insight to the local geography, history and culture of the region. The ride was legit but doable for all thanks to eBikes! The AFE team accomodated our large, age diverse (19 to 80) group with ease and gave us an incredible tour of the less-traveled Algarve interior countryside in between truly outstanding meals highlighting locally-sourced cuisine with some interesting local wines and specialty beverages. Highly recommended!

We spent a lovely half day with Paula. The tour started at the Loulé market then we joined Paula at her home for a leisurely cooking lesson. She prepared a multi-course traditional Portuguese lunch. The food was outstanding, from the appetizers, to the main courses and dessert. Paula is a wonderful guide and chef, I strongly recommend her tour.
