Cork Farm Walking Tour

Enjoy an amazing cork farm tour in Redondo!

Our farm is located on the foothills of the Serra D’Ossa, in the heart of the Alentejo region of Portugal. Owned by an Anglo-Portuguese family for over five generations, this 540-hectare estate has long been dedicated to cork forestry and livestock, with daily life historically centered around its traditional farmhouse, beautifully set overlooking the surrounding countryside.

This experience invites you to discover the cork oak forest up close, walking through peaceful fields and shaded woodland in a calm and natural setting. As you explore the landscape, you’ll engage all your senses — from the earthy aromas of the forest to the textures of the cork oak bark and the sounds of nature around you.

During the walk, you’ll learn what cork is today and why it remains such an important natural resource, both in Portugal and worldwide. Your guide will explain the heritage, sustainability, and lifecycle of cork, from the cork oak tree to its many modern uses, highlighting why cork harvesting is one of the most environmentally friendly forestry practices in the world.

This experience offers a perfect balance of nature, culture, and learning, ideal for travelers seeking a deeper connection with the Alentejo landscape. Whether you are curious about cork, passionate about sustainability, or simply looking for a peaceful outdoor experience, this visit provides an authentic insight into one of Portugal’s most iconic traditions.
