The highlight of my trip to Lisbon with my three children (19, 17 and 14) was our experience at this magical farm. Every detail was thought out with love and care - the beautiful cork trees, the organic products, the delicious food and most of all the conversation. This experience is an absolute must!! I can't wait to come back again next time I am in Lisbon. With gratitude. Renee
Incredible experience that I highly recommend! This was, without a doubt, our best & favorite day in Portugal. We met the farmer at the "herdade" in the morning where we had a casual discussion about the day ahead & Portuguese agriculture in general. The cork production it's huge and we learn a lot of new things! Thank you, PFE, very much!!
The cork tour was amazing as was the winery and the lunch. Joana is terrific - very knowledgable and friendly!
Amazing experience! We have learned everything about cork production in a natural environment. The farm is beautiful…and even self sustainable! A megalithic site on the farm came as a total surprise. Highly recommend tour!
