Portugal is famous for its cork production (accounting for nearly 50% of annual supply) and it can be seen atop wine bottles and in souvenir form all over Lisbon – but how is it made? We transport you to the heart of its production, at a farm in Redondo that applies ecological concepts alongside the medieval montado ecosystem, resulting in an innovative approach to the protection and harvest of their cork oak trees. Set in the beautiful Alentejo region, you will be immersed in the Mediterranean traits.
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.
The jeep tour and wine tasting with local products was a unique experience! Our guide was very professional and kind, everything was great. We were thrilled to have this wonderful experience. Even our little dog liked it.
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

Foi uma experiência única e inesquecível! Esperávamos conhecer melhor a produção de cortiça, mas além disso, conhecemos uma pessoa incrível, com uma história de vida linda, e também um lugar preparado especialmente para nos receber. Esta fazenda e os seus ensinamentos vão com certeza ficar gravados na nossa memória desta viagem. Ficamos muito felizes, meu marido e eu!

The highlight of my trip to Lisbon with my three children (19, 17 and 14) was our experience at this magical farm. Every detail was thought out with love and care – the beautiful cork trees, the organic products, the delicious food and most of all the conversation. This experience is an absolute must!! I can’t wait to come back again next time I am in Lisbon. With gratitude. Renee

Incredible experience that I highly recommend! This was, without a doubt, our best & favorite day in Portugal. We met the farmer at the “herdade” in the morning where we had a casual discussion about the day ahead & Portuguese agriculture in general. The cork production it’s huge and we learn a lot of new things! Thank you, PFE, very much!!
