Overview

More than a cooking class, this is a relaxed, small-group experience centred around preparing and sharing food together. Seasonal vegetarian menus draw on Mediterranean flavours, herbs and spices, with everyone taking part in creating the dishes. Afterwards, we gather around the table to enjoy what we've made, accompanied by drinks and conversation.

Set beside the Funcho River in the peaceful Algarve countryside near Silves, Figs on the Funcho offers a personal alternative to a conventional cooking school. Our approach to creative and culinary experiences has been recognised by LUXlife, including Best Art & Culinary Retreat Centre 2026 – Portugal and Art & Culinary Wellness Escapes Destination of the Year 2025 – Southern Europe.

What's included

  • Two glasses of non-alcoholic drinks as an alternative to wine.
  • Two glasses of Portuguese wine are included to enjoy with the meal.
  • A shared vegetarian meal featuring the seasonal dishes prepared during the workshop, plus mixed salad and freshly baked focaccia.
  • Fresh herbal tea, made with herbs picked from our garden, is served.

What to expect

Join us at Figs on the Funcho for a relaxed, hands-on vegetarian cooking experience in the Algarve countryside near Silves. Over three hours, you'll cook alongside a small group, preparing a selection of colourful dishes inspired by Mediterranean flavours, herbs and spices, with seasonal menus that make the most of ingredients available at different times of the year.

With guidance throughout, you'll take part in preparing the dishes rather than simply watching a demonstration. As our menus change with the seasons, each workshop offers a different combination of recipes, flavours and techniques that you can recreate at home. After the workshop, you'll receive all the recipes digitally, so you can make your favourites again.

Once the cooking is complete, we'll gather around the table to enjoy the dishes we've prepared together, accompanied by drinks and conversation. Set beside the Funcho River, the workshop combines cooking, sharing food and meeting others in a peaceful rural setting — a different way to experience the Algarve.
