Douro view near the Eclairs of the Douro experience

Just minutes from central Porto

The experience takes place in Valbom, with a beautiful Douro view, just across the river from Porto. Most guests arrive by Uber or Bolt, usually a short ride from central Porto.

A different kind of Porto evening

This is not a large cooking school or a standard tourist activity. It is a small, personal pastry-and-wine evening near the Douro — designed for travelers who want something warm, beautiful, and memorable.

01

Make real éclairs from scratch

Learn the steps behind choux pastry, pastry cream, filling, and a smooth chocolate glaze.

02

Enjoy Portuguese wine and light snacks

Sip Portuguese wine while the éclairs bake and cool, with snacks and time to linger.

03

Relax in a small group with a Douro view

Up to 6 guests keeps the evening personal, relaxed, and easy to enjoy.

Chocolate-glazed éclairs prepared during the experience

Make, fill, glaze, then linger.

You will prepare the pastry, make the cream, fill and glaze your own chocolate éclairs, then enjoy them with Portuguese wine, light snacks, and the Douro view.

It is hands-on enough to feel real, but relaxed enough to feel like a special Porto evening rather than a technical class.

Leave with your own handmade éclairs, the recipe to recreate them at home, and memories of a unique Porto evening.
