Évora Picnic Experience

About the Évora Picnic Farm Experience

Escape to the serene landscapes of Évora with our Picnic Experience, where nature, tradition, and flavor come together to create an unforgettable day in the Alentejo countryside. Perfect for couples, families, or friends, this experience invites you to relax, unwind, and indulge in a carefully curated picnic amidst stunning natural surroundings.

This is more than just a picnic; it’s a chance to connect with the land, taste the best of Alentejo, and embrace the slow pace of life that defines the region. Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion or simply seeking a moment of tranquility, this experience offers a perfect blend of relaxation and discovery.

Upon arrival at the reception, visitors will receive a map and a brief introduction. They are then free to explore the area outlined on the map, which includes the agricultural hill, the residential houses, the agroforestry areas, and the path leading to the edge of the Alentejo Montado, where they will find our Cromlech and the farm menhir.

Highlights

A picnic that starts with a proper walk. Rather than sitting straight down, you’ll explore olive groves, oak trees and historic landmarks first — the picnic is a reward, not just a stop.

History built into the setting. The self-guided route passes the estate’s Cromlech and menhir, adding genuine archaeological interest to the outing.

A genuinely gourmet basket. Artisanal bread, regional cheeses, cured meats, fresh fruit, traditional sweets and Alentejo wine — a proper spread, not a simple sandwich.

Choose your own spot. Whether under ancient olive trees or overlooking rolling hills, you pick where to settle in, making the experience feel personal rather than fixed.
