Highlights
A full regional spread, not a quick sample. Cured ham, cheese, olives, bread, empadas, fruit, wine, coffee and biscuits — this is a proper sit-down tasting, not a few bites standing up.
Cork knowledge, then a reward for it. The same in-depth walk and explanation of sustainable cork harvesting as our classic tour, extended with time to relax and enjoy the region’s food.
A taste of true Alentejo gastronomy. The tasting draws on genuine regional staples — empadas, cured ham, local wine — giving you a real sense of Alentejo’s culinary identity, not a generic snack plate.
Still built around the farm itself. The tasting takes place on a real working cork farm, so the food and the setting both feel authentically tied to the place.

Definitely take this tour. Our host will show you his family’s montado, explain the joys and challenges of cork farming and answer every question you have. Then he’ll serve what is called “a tasting” but is really a full lunch. You will come away with huge respect for the people who live this life and keep the traditions alive. And you will never buy screw-top wine again.
