We loved our hosts (Manuel and Pablo) and they went out of their way to give us an unforgettable and personal experience. It was really interesting to learn about their small farm process and to taste their products. Manuel even gave us some of his homemade wine! It was lovely 😊 This is a perfect “off the beaten track” experience.

We drove from Lisbon to Assentis to pick and taste olives at the farm of Manuel Lopes. He was a fantastic host. Even though it rained heavily (unusual weather for the time of year and region), he still had plenty for us to do. We brought our two toddlers and he was great with them as well. If we come to Portugal, we would come back again just to see him. Would recommend the experience without reservation!
