Quick Details
Enjoy a Premium Olive Oil Tasting close to Lisbon!
From six primary systems—household, vegetable garden, olive grove, orchard, fields, and scrublands—it offers a range of products emblematic of the “Ribatejo neighborhood” landscape: olive oil, honey, figs, aromatic herbs, seasonal vegetables, legumes like beans, chickpeas, grass peas, blackberries, and various fruits.
Here, in traditional olive groves, one of the few bio-certified extra-virgin olive oils from Ribatejo is produced. Honey from the hive. Dried figs. But also chickpeas and lentils, melons and pumpkins, green beans and cabbage. Oregano, quinces, and wild blackberries are picked. Chickens and rabbits are raised, donkeys and horses are used for rides and to fertilize the fields. Pestos, jams, chutneys, pies, and various other processed products are made so that none of the garden’s produce goes to waste. Good bread is baked in an olive wood-fired oven.

Reviews
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!
This is an amazing place! Manuel explained us so much about olive oil and the production but we also talked about many other interesting things. It is a really relaxing atmosphere and an inspiring tour. The oil is sooo tasty!!! Highly recommended!!!
