Serra da Estrela Cheese Making with a Local Shepherd near Viseu

Step into a working sheep farm in the Dão region, just 20 minutes from Viseu, and learn how authentic Serra da Estrela PDO cheese is made. Guided by a local shepherd and cheesemaker, you will roll up your sleeves and take part in the traditional cheese making process, from fresh milk to the finished cheese. Afterwards, sit down to a generous tasting of PDO cheese, creamy requeijão, broa, honey, pão de ló, cured meats and Dão wine. A genuine, hands-on rural experience in the heart of Portugal, available from October to April.
