Highlights
A vintage vehicle with real character. The classical Land Rover isn’t just transport — it’s part of the experience, with a nostalgic charm the modern jeep tour doesn’t offer.
Access most visitors never get. The vintage Land Rover reaches corners of the 540-hectare estate that are difficult to explore on foot, opening up a wider view of the property.
Built for nature lovers and bird watchers. With a stronger focus on ecology, native plants and wildlife spotting, this tour leans into the estate’s biodiversity more than our other cork tours.
A broader picture of the farm’s ecosystem. Beyond cork, you’ll learn how sheep and vineyards fit into the estate’s wider sustainable farming system.

This is the tour I was excited about as we prepared for our time in Portugal, learning all about cork. We walked through a cork forrest, learned how the trees grow and produce cork, the critters that support growth, and the importance of business diversification. Our guide was patient with us as we asked lots of questions! It was a great experience that ended with a platter of ham and cheese and very tasty wines produced by the owner of the cork farm.

What an unforgettable experience visiting the cork farm! Our small group of 4 friends learned about the slow process of harvesting cork and the natural way the trees are allowed to grow. The Land Rover was bumpy, but worth it to learn the way this farm produces wine, grows cork, grazes black pigs and respects the environment.

My father and I joined this very unique and wonderful tour on our recent sightseeing trip to Portugal. We drove the 1.5 hours from Lisbon down to Redondo to meet up with Joana and team where we got into their Land Rover for a nice tour of their cork tree farm. The tour shows the trees at various stages of their growth and gives an overview of how the process is done. Unfortunately the cork is only harvested during a very narrow window in the early summer, but regardless we learned a lot from the experience. The terrain is also very beautiful and serene. It's a nice relaxing tour to take if you're in the area.

We had a great time exploring the cork forest on a 1974 Landover with Jose', who was very knowleadgeable and friendly. We learnt a lot about the region and the farm, we heard about the past traditions and about what is being implemented to adapt the farm businesses to the challenges posed by climate change. Five very athletic dogs accompanied us along the way, wich made the whole experience even more fun. We'll be back. Silvia&Silvia
