# Pastel de Nata | Workshop from scratch | Porto's city center

**Guidekin's take:** A central Porto workshop where you make pastel de nata from the pastry up, with local wine and coffee while you work, in one of two kitchens near São Bento or the cellars. Doors close at the start time with no late entry, no under fifteens, not for gluten or lactose intolerance. 4.91 from 664 reviews at €45 per person.

## Overview

Learn how to make the famous "Pastel de Nata" from scratch so that you can return home and enjoy the traditional Portuguese pastries totally made by you.

In a group activity, you'll take turns participating while enjoying a local wine in a specially designed kitchen with exceptional hosts experienced in teaching and entertainment.

Our two spaces are centrally located, one near "São Bento Train Station" and "Ribeira", and the other near "Jardim do Morro" and the Port Wine Cellars. If we don't have availability at the location you're looking at, please check with our other location.
