About the Goat Cheese Workshop

Step into a traditional Portuguese cheese dairy and learn how artisan goat cheese is made using age-old techniques and local ingredients. This hands-on workshop offers a genuine behind-the-scenes look at small-scale, eco-friendly production — from milk to fresh cheese.

Using milk from our own herd, you’ll discover how quality, flavour, and tradition come together in every step of the process. With guidance from local makers, you’ll learn the fundamentals of artisan cheese making, understand what influences texture and taste, and take part in shaping your own fresh goat cheese.

This experience is designed for families and small groups who want a real cultural and food experience in rural Portugal — practical, welcoming, and memorable. At the end, you’ll take home the cheese you made yourself.

Shepherd walking with goats in Serra dos Candeeiros Portugal
Unique! Sonya Miteva

You just have to be a shepherd for a morning. It's really super fun!! Miguel is a really good guide with a lot of knowledge about nature, goats, and crops. The shepherd shows you everything about the goats. The milking process and also the baby goats. The hike up the mountain is so beautiful!! The view is breathtaking!! And when do you get to walk up a mountain with so many goats? So I'm saying, you don't want to miss this, do it!

Fabulous experience! Tommy Pedersen

Just amazing! Doing an activity that you don't have the chance to do every day is great. Miguel, the guide, is awesome; he knows how to motivate people and really makes the activity a part of it. If you have the chance, just come. Everything was perfect The shepherds are also super warm, they know their goats and treat them well
