Serra do Caldeirão Olive Oil Pick & Taste

Pick up your own Olives from the trees and enjoy a unique experience!

We offer very unique tours on our farm in the Serra do Caldeirão, where you can pick olives directly from the olive trees. Here you can discover what you could call the “real Portugal.” The beauty of the countryside is immense with wildflowers and spectacular views, and you can still find shepherds herding their sheep (and goats) and subsistence farmers working hard on their land to grow the food they need.
