About Taberna Folias de Baco | Natural Wines

Located in the historic heart of Porto, on Rua dos Caldeireiros, Taberna Folias de Baco brings together vineyard heritage, natural wines, and food that speaks to place. Operating since 2013, this tavern-style venue has built its identity around simplicity and authenticity: the wines are produced in organically tended vineyards in the Douro, hand-harvested and vinified with minimal intervention, allowing the soil, climate, and grape to express themselves in the glass. The kitchen complements this wine philosophy with petiscos that celebrate the flavours of the region: smoked sausages, cured meats, torricados (rustic toasted bread with toppings), cheese plates, empanadas, seasonal vegetable dishes, live herbs, and more. The menu shifts with what’s available locally and what’s fresh, resulting in dishes that feel both grounded and inventive. Inside, the space is intimate and unpretentious: modest in scale, with close-set tables that foster conversation; lighting that is warm and inviting; décor that leans on tradition but avoids clichés. Important details: no exterior seating, only interior; payment in cash only - these choices underscore the Taberna’s commitment to simplicity and keeping focus on food and wine rather than decor. The staff are knowledgeable and passionate, ready to guide you through their wine list and to pair dishes with the best match. Whether stopping by for a glass of natural wine, sharing small plates, or making an evening of it, Folias de Baco delivers a sincere, flavourful experience - one that feels rooted in Douro’s landscapes and in the soil, yet very much alive in Porto’s urban pulse.
