Évora Inside the Olive Oil Wine and Cork Triangle

Évora Inside the Olive Oil Wine and Cork Triangle

In this 9-hour tour you will be driven south in comfort across the bridge through beautiful landscapes towards The

Alentejo, Portugal’s largest region and maybe the wildest. A region lined by a rugged coast to the west and filled with farmland, cork oaks, vineyards, olive groves, and other crops and livestock.. You will explore

Évora. Designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, 

Évora is known as a “city-museum” filled with culturally significant landmarks and it is marked with a notable history. It is also the

Alentejo’s regional capital and largest city. You will visit a wine producing estate where you will have lunch and a wine tasting. Then it is time - if within season and farmer available - to see how cork is extracted and produced before heading to another estate where one of Portugal most famous brand of olive oil is produced. Time for a tasting, of course, before heading back to Lisbon revitalized.

Explore Giraldo Square and the historic centre, and visit the Roman temple of Diana, the Evora Cathedral, and the Chapel of the Bones.
