Alentejo wine is much appreciated by Portuguese people all over the country!

We offer an authentic experience involving the tasting of carefully selected Alentejo wines along with an explanation of the various types of cork stoppers and how they influence the conservation and quality of wines. All this in an intimately rustic setting where you can enjoy the delights of the region to the full.

Looking for an unforgettable experience?
We have renovated a former railway station and conjured up the magic of bygone times with a fascinating excursion through a typical Alentejo montado landscape of cork-oak and holm-oak groves.
We stop frequently for unique experiences: a stroll through the cork and holm-oak groves, learning the difference between the two types of oak-tree, eating an acorn and watching the cork harvest!
Join us at the crack of dawn on a fascinating excursion through the Alentejo cork-oak and holm-oak groves. Watch the process of cork extraction from the trees: equipped with just an axe, bark-strippers work with surgical precision. The bark grows back after each harvest, producing an absorbing spectacle from a time-old ritual!
