Visita a Herdade Alentejana

Discover Herdade do Freixo on an immersive half-day visit, where tradition, sustainability, and history come together in the heart of the Alentejo. Your morning begins with an authentic journey through the Alentejo montado, a remarkable ecosystem of cork oaks and holm oaks. Here, you'll learn about the centuries-old practice of cork harvesting and its vital role in the region’s economy and environmental stewardship. The tour continues with a visit to the farm’s animals and greenhouses, where sustainable agricultural practices are upheld in harmony with natural cycles. This connection to the land is deepened by a stop at a prehistoric cromlech and a carefully reconstructed Neolithic village, offering insight into the lives of the first sedentary communities in the region.

To enhance the experience, guests have the option to enjoy a traditional Alentejo lunch on the farm, prepared with fresh, local ingredients and rooted in time-honored recipes—subject to availability. This unique visit weaves together nature, heritage, and gastronomy, giving you a well-rounded understanding of Alentejo’s cultural identity and commitment to preserving its rich rural legacy.
