Paint a traditional Portuguese azulejo in Évora, inspired by local plants!
Discover the history and artistry of the iconic Portuguese azulejo during a hands-on tile painting workshop set on a local farm near Évora.
The azulejo—the painted and glazed ceramic tile—is far more than architectural decoration. Over centuries, it has evolved alongside Portuguese culture, capturing the country’s history, art, and traditions. In this workshop, you’ll paint your own ceramic tile inspired by the aromatic plants grown on the farm.
You’ll work with the traditional format known as “figura avulsa”, a style developed in Portugal during the 17th and 18th centuries, featuring simple central motifs painted in a single color—the classic cobalt blue.
The experience begins with a guided visit to the farm, where you’ll learn about the plants grown on site and enjoy a herbal infusion tasting. Afterwards, under the guidance of a local artisan, you’ll learn the basic techniques of traditional tile painting and create your own piece to take home.
Your painted tile will later be fired in a ceramic kiln and delivered in person or sent by post on an agreed date (shipping costs not included).
This experience is ideal for art lovers, culture enthusiasts, and travelers seeking a creative and authentic Portuguese tradition.

We live on a beautiful farm, in which 2 hectares are reserved for planting and 6 hectares are dedicated to enjoying nature. In this paradise, we are conscious of our impact on the ecosystem. We recognise the added value and resources it provides and, the unique quality that it grants our products. Nature is extremely generous, any square meter of land can produce abundantly if we respect it and pay attention to the signs it gives us. In our agricultural journey, we have always kept balance and regeneration in mind. It is important to work together with nature, maintaining its genetic, cultural and environmental heritage. We uphold this belief by respecting the seasons, producing native species, adapting to the available resources, using sustainable agricultural practices, and respecting the soil. All in all, an extension of respect to all aspects of our surrounding environment.
As a farm dedicated to planting aromatic and medicinal herbs organically, we are aware of the importance of biodiversity and we have taken multiple actions to support it. We revitalized our farm’s century-old olive grove; we created an apiary, due to the great importance of bees for the ecosystem; and we collected and propagated species of endemic and native wild plants. We also planted melliferous flowers and enriched our riparian gallery with more species of trees and shrubs, in order to provide more shelter for the birdlife that already exists there. Next to our pond, and in order to retain water and provide shelter for a variety of bird species, we plant and replace plantspical of this ecosystem. We constantly seek a balance. We are only a plantation of aromatic herbs, we strive for a balances balanced ecosystem.

This is a truly wonderful place, filled with sunlight and immersed in the natural fragrance of aromatic plants. It is an experience that truly engages all the senses. I highly recommend a visit, as well as the incredible products available. I plan to return whenever possible, whether for future events or simply to restock my aromatics. Thank you very much for such a wonderful experience!

Excellent organic products with outstanding quality and beautiful design. The aroma of the naturally produced teas and infusions speaks for itself — I have never found products of such high quality elsewhere, and they never disappoint. An easy choice both for personal use and as a gift. I purchased gift hampers for Christmas and birthdays, and they make wonderful presents! I have also attended two workshops on the farm and highly recommend them. The team is fantastic and extremely attentive.
