What you can expect

  • Your journey through the culture of Barcelos begins with a welcome at our Folklore-store, a space that highlights Barcelos' crafts as well as local products. You are in the Vinho Verde region, so there is nothing better than starting this adventure with a glass of very fresh Vinho Verde, produced here. After the first sip — which we guarantee will be approved! — we present our famous ham baguette. This moment of conviviality and flavour is the perfect setting for the introduction to the world of clay. With your taste buds satisfied and your spirit relaxed, it's time to meet our artisan host. He/she will guide you on a journey through the traditions of Barcelos, explaining the shaping process and answering any questions you may have. It will be an intimate conversation, light-hearted but with a lot of content :)

    Between a sip of wine and a bite of ham, your hands will give life and personality to the clay. In the end, you take with you the memory of an authentic morning/afternoon spent like a true Barcelos artisan.
