The Guardian elects Cantinho das Aromáticas as Porto's olfactory delight
Cantinho das Aromáticas were recommended in the most prestigious British newspaper, The Guardian.
“Porto is famous for its eponymous wines. By all means, go stick your nose into a glass or three of the strong stuff. But don’t leave without checking out one of the city’s lesser-known olfactory treats. On an elevated plot over the Rio Douro, in Vila Nova de Gaia, sit the fragrant fields and nurseries of Cantinho das Aromáticas. From just 2½ hectares, this beautiful organic farm manages to produce a whopping 150 or so different plant species.
Visitors are invited to wander along the neat rows of aromatic flowers, medicinal plants and kitchen herbs. (Don’t worry about the kids: the farm’s stone dovecote makes for the perfect playground). For those wanting to get their hands dirty, opportunities also exist to volunteer. At the end of the visit, enjoy one of the farm’s freshly plucked infusions (two of these won two stars at the 2017 Great Taste Awards) in the well-stocked café-cum-shop. The farm’s 50-plus products include bee glue extract (€9.60), extra virgin olive oil (€6.90-€38.00) and various fruit and floral liqueurs (from €10)”.
