You're Invited: A Culinary Adventure in Lisbon—with Me!


Come with Me to Lisbon

Olá Reader,

If you’ve ever dreamed of strolling through sun-drenched markets, mastering the art of Portuguese classic dishes and pastries, and eating your way through Lisbon and the surrounding areas—this is for you.

I’m thrilled to invite you on a once-in-a-lifetime culinary adventure in Portugal, one that brings our time together on Leite's Culinaria to the cobblestoned streets of Lisbon.

A Cook’s Tour of Lisbon with David Leite & The One

📅 Dates: May 12–18, 2026

💵
Cost: $6,499 (double occupancy) / $7,199 (single)

🏨
Includes: 6 nights in a 4-star hotel, 14 meals, private hands-on classes and tastings, regional tours, and exclusive access to Portugal’s top culinary spots.

🥂 Your Hosts: The One and me (AKA The Onederful!)

This is more than a food tour—it’s a full-on sensory immersion. You’ll:

  • Shop with chefs at local markets and cook your bounty.
  • Master pastéis de nata inside a working bakery with the master baker who taught me everything I know.
  • Break bread in a Portuguese home.
  • Enjoy a vineyard lunch in the Alentejo and taste small-batch olive oils.
  • Dine at Lisbon’s culinary legends, including Sacramento and Ramiro, a favorite of Tony Bourdain.

It’s intimate. It’s curated. And it’s utterly delicious.

🎟️ I’m giving you, my subscribers, first dibs.

So many of you have told me you’ve always wanted to go to Portugal with us. To honor that, I’m opening this to only my newsletter subscribers for the next two weeks. After that, I’ll share it publicly.

There are only 8 spots, and if this unfolds like my Cook's Tour of Florence, which sold out in 72 hours, it will go quickly.

Reader, If Lisbon’s been on your list (and you want to travel in a meaningful and personal way), now’s your chance.

Alan and I would be honored if you'd join us and turn all of these years of emails and newsletters into an unforgettable in-person experience.

Chow,

David Leite
