Jeep ride across an 800-hectare estate
The tour opens with a roughly one-hour guided jeep drive across an 800-hectare farm, a rolling patchwork that showcases cork oaks, nut trees, vineyards, fruit trees and designated hunting areas.
Harmonized lunch and guided tastings
A light, traditional Alentejo lunch is served harmonized with six references from the estate’s winery, followed later by a commented tasting of three wines accompanied by a sausage-and-cheese board.
Behind the scenes at a working winery
A second visit by pick-up truck takes you through vineyards, ancient olive trees and into the winery to observe the production process—and, when possible, packaging—culminating in a guided tasting.
