Pinhais Cannery & Co.

Great tour! I like mild fish so was looking forward to learning about the business more than the tasting. I loved going through the office space and learning about the company’s history. The factory tour was excellent. Explaining every step of the process and seeing all the equipment. Unfortunately it was a weekend so they were not processing fish, but we were able to walk the floor. And the tasting was great. I won’t be a regular sardine eater, but it was a great experience “when in Rome”. I highly recommend this to anyone in the Porto area!

Great visit to Pinhais canning factory! This tour is well worth doing if you're visiting Porto and want to learn more about sardine canning in Matosinhos. Known for it's excellent seafood and historic fishing industry, Matosinhos is within easy reach of Porto. The tour included time on the factory floor watching work in progress, learning historic context, watching some great videos, a hands-on experience wrapping our own sardine cans, and a sardine tasting at the end in their lovely restaurant. The tour lasted around 45 minutes, and the tasting was an additional 30 min, and we could stay as long as we wished. Enjoyed this so much! Highly recommend!

Excellent tour! Highly recommend! Very informative and tour guide was very knowledgeable about the history of the cannery. You can purchase ticket online on the Pinhais Cannery website. Get the full experience and take home a can of sardines personalized with your name and that you wrapped.

I‘ve done so many factory tours in my life but this was probably the best one ever. How can every part of the tour be so perfectly seamless and beautiful?? The staff are all so kind and friendly too. From now on my favorite sardines are Nuri! ❤️

I very much enjoyed the tour. We were shown all the different areas of the floor and the processing area and taking through several historic rooms in the building afterwards we had a tasting. I definitely recommend doing this tour.

I'm not a fan of fish, but it was a great tour. We had the tour, sardine and wine tasting. Definitely worth it. It took about 90 minutes. They provide you with an ear phone so you can hear the guide when it gets loud. Make sure to reserve so you can listen in your language.

We are a family of 3 really enjoyed our tour today with Benjamin. We had it on a Saturday and had a close up of the assembly line and the floor. Factory was in a pristine condition and had so much interesting history and story. We finished the tour with a glass of wine and tasting of the sardines. Totally recommended!

Magnificent experience. I wasn't expecting this. The history of sardines in Portugal is truly fascinating. The explanations are clear, the tour is fun, and the finale, with the tasting, is a joy! If you have the opportunity to have Beatriz by your side, you'll be thrilled. This woman is the embodiment of beauty and a journey all her own. Honestly, if you're in the area, go for it!
