Savor the distinctive flavors of Madeira and learn more about its cultural and culinary customs when you join Luisa Freitas, a local restauranteur and award-winning chef, on an intimate cooking experience. Your adventure begins at Funchal's Old Town for a stroll through the narrow cobblestone streets admiring its architectural highlights and the "Arte de Portas Abertas," a public art program displaying more than 200 painted doorways. Your chef accompanies you to the local marketplace, where a cornucopia of produce, seafood and flowers greets you. Taste fresh fruit as you shop for ingredients for your cooking experience. Arrive at Armazem do Mercado, an older building recently renovated to showcase a diverse collection of pop-up stores, cafes and restaurants. Your cooking demonstration gets underway, and after you learn the secrets to Madeira's distinctive cuisine from seasoned chef Luisa, you'll try some of the flavorful dishes yourself. Return to port after this satisfying day.
