Hosted by local experts, the jeep tour spans 800 hectares, revealing the sustainable practices behind cork harvesting and the unique flora of the region. As the day winds down, guests settle into a scenic locale to enjoy a wine tasting paired with traditional Alentejo bites—artisanal bread, local cheeses, and succulent black pork sausages—making for a truly immersive evening.
