    Such a worthwhile couple of hours. Not only is this tour super informative, the olive grove and surrounding farm is gorgeous. Rachel was great with explaining everything and taking time to answer questions. It is a small boutique grove that is very environmentally conscious which adds to the beauty. The olive oil tasting is educational and delicious. A great tour that is very reasonably priced. Strongly recommend

    My cousin and I attended the Portugal Farm experience in Viseu on a Saturday afternoon with the cheese making class commencing at 16:30. The experience exceeded our expectations, not only because we learned first hand how to make cheese, but because of the warm welcome and hospitality offered to us by the two sisters (Cristina and Ines) and later their mother Teresa. We initially began the cheese making process using fresh raw sheep’s milk and while the curds were setting we went to the dining/living area of this rustic family home where we tasted cheese, homemade jams and biscuits. There was a young English couple on their honeymoon who also attended our session. After the cheese had set, we returned to the small cheese factory where the curds were cut and then placed in a colander lined with cheese cloth. We then took turns gently squeezing the whey from the curds in the cheese cloth. The whey was siphoned into another pot and when we had put the cheese into the form (weighting it with a rock), we focused on the whey (the colour of milk) which we heated until 75-80 degrees Celsius, stirring constantly, until more curd was separated from the whey. After this had cooled a little, we took turns putting the curds into small forms. This “requeijão” made from the whey was much creamier and more delicious than ricotta. Afterwards we were served homemade ham with figs from the garden. The dinner table was decorated with grapes and squash. We were served a delicious chicken pie made from the farm’s chickens, accompanied by fresh salad from the garden and rice followed by an apple crumble. All the produce was fresh from the farm. The dinner was accompanied by the local wines from the Douro region. The young couple left early, while we stayed with the family talking and laughing until almost midnight. The highlight of the experience was the passion and wonderful hospitality offered by the two sisters and their mother. They made us feel at home, as though we were visiting our own family. We took with us the knowledge we had gained from the session and the lovely memories of this exceptional afternoon and evening.

    Me and my family visited the cheese making experience in the late autumn to learn more about the local tradition of cheese production as well as to get our hands on experience making some cheeses. The whole experience was run by Cristina and she walked us through the process as well as the history of the establishment. After making some cheeses, we were introduced to the matured versions of them to taste. Pairings were very local, seasonal and absolutely delicious. Shout out to the pumpkin jam which was served with the soft spread and walnuts. After this, we were treated to the three course dinner which was also sourced locally and tasted delicious. If you end up going for this experience, give them a call to confirm you will show up so they can prepare everything for you. Overall, this was very pleasant and relaxing experience.

    For the Hydroponic Farm, this really was a fantastic tour. Mike, the farmer, was very knowledgable, answering every question we had, and we really enjoyed hearing about his story. Would definitely recommend for anyone looking to learn more about Hydoponics, or just to experience a unique outdoor experience.

    Had an amazing time today at Valter’s banana farm! 😃 We went for banana farm experience, we also saw many other fruits and got to see the varieties of bananas. 💯 Valter did an amazing tour and took good care of me and my friend, booking was on short notice but we were accommodated really well! Loved the food spread Valter created on a short notice! The homemade honey, farm grown fruits and the local bakery orange cake was amazing, even had them packed for our hotel. Would highly recommend this experience!

    We had a memorable day on our tour. From winery insights to a delectable Codfish feast, the coastal charm added magic. A must for wine and food lovers in Lisbon!

    We drove from Lisbon to Assentis to pick and taste olives at the farm of Manuel Lopes. He was a fantastic host. Even though it rained heavily (unusual weather for the time of year and region), he still had plenty for us to do. We brought our two toddlers and he was great with them as well. If we come to Portugal, we would come back again just to see him. Would recommend the experince without reservation!

    We did a Goat Cheese Experience Tour in Leiria. It was an amazing experience! Senhora Umbelina showed us her farm, we could feed goats. And finally could experience the whole process of making cheese. By the way, the cheese was amazing! Highly recommend!

    We really enjoyed the Orange Farm tour! Carlos and Miguel were amazing in showing around and explaining details about the trees, farm and all connected. They're very attentive and welcoming hosts! We're 100% satisfied with the tour. Owners of the farm even packed us 2 bags of oranges to take home :) Now we're gonna remember that experience for a long time haha

    Amazing food matched with amazing wine, shared underneath a 200yr old tree on a 300yr old family owned winery. Does it get much better? A must for your trip

    On our first ever visit to Alentejo, we met a local olive oil producer whose unusual methods have created an exquisite brand (Azeite Amor é Cego) that truly reflects his love and passion for his land and heritage. The location was Monte da Oliveira Velha, an olive oil estate located 17 km from Évora. The olive oil was very good quality and the overall experience itself was worth the journey. We enjoyed meeting the proprietor João Rosado and learning about his product. We booked the experience through Portugal Farm Experiences. They have a good range of experiences listed on their website to select from. They were responsive and helpful in arranging the experience for us. They provided all the details we needed including accurate directions to the location. They were also able to accommodate our tight schedule because we had to drive back to the airport that same day. We look forward to trying more Portugal farm experiences and exploring more of Alentejo.

    My wife and I booked an experience with Portugal Farm Experience, where we took part in the Lunch at a Vineyard Estate experience with Tapada de Coelheiros. First, booking the experience with Portugal Farm Experience was very easy and we had everything confirmed in minutes. The experience itself…TREMENDOUS. Catarina at Coelheiros had an infectious personality and was very informative about everything they do at the vineyard, including taking us on a driving tour throughout the property. The wine tasting was delicious and the food superb. Highly recommend booking with Portugal Farm Experiences if you’re in Lisbon or Évora. You’ll have a great time!

    Overall a great experience! Our farm experience was an absolute delight. The staff was incredibly knowledgeable and friendly, and I got to connect with nature and learn about farming firsthand. I can't recommend them enough – a fantastic experience that left me with a greater appreciation for agriculture and sustainable living! Thank you!

    Fantastic experience for my Dad’s birthday treat today with Joana and Jaol, passionate people who are so lovely, friendly and informative, caring and just lovely 😊 beautiful Portuguese people 👍🏽🥰👏🏽

    The Cheese tasting experience in Manteigas was wonderful! Ines and Miguel were very knowledgeable on the cheese processing methods and received us very warmly. The set-up of the table and the quality of the cheese went beyond my expectations.

    The agency that organizes the tour, represented by Estevao, was unkind and unhelpful. He refused to help me with finding a way to get there from Lisbon via public transport. His solution was to rent a car or take a taxi, and when I asked for a refund since I’m finding it difficult to get there he refused to refund me. Not only that, he actually informed the farmer that my tour is canceled without my knowledge. Such an arrogant behavior! On the other hand, the farmer still received me, gave me an amazing tour, offered insights on what to do in the area, how to get back to Lisbon, and even offered a ride to the station. Such a huge contrast in attitude which makes all the difference for this experience. Furthermore, I was asked to provide my review on the farm account instead, so that the negative review would be there. But the farmer exceeded my expectations! It is human to apologize when you’re rude. Nothing wrong with that, but some people can’t!

    Went to Quinta de Santo EstevĂŁo farm for an Orange tour experience. Jose the farmer was friendly and very informative and best of all the clementine and oranges tasted very good and sweet! We had fresh orange juice at the end of the tour with some yummy snacks and two large bags of oranges :) I would highly recommend!

    Amazing experience! I am so glad that I booked my Herb Farm Experience with Portugal Farm Experiences. Best in organising and guiding, and super easy to communicate. Can’t wait to come back to Portugal again. I will definitely book more experiences with them!

    The cork tour was amazing as was the winery and the lunch. Joana is terrific - very knowledgable and friendly!

  • 1/5 Lavanya 2 years ago on Google
    Though the farm was beautiful and we enjoyed our visit, I am giving this a one star because the price was an absolute rip off based on the fact that we booked a cork farm tour and all we got to see for the “cork farm” was a single cork tree… I am not kidding. There was no processing of the cork at all, no harvested cork to see, no finished cork products, so really you could drive through the region and see more cork trees than you did on this visit. And you could do that for free. The price was exorbitant for what we got.

    We had a great time in a winery close to Lisbon, everything was perfect! Thank you Portugal Farm Experiences.

  • 5/5 Tesa P. 2 years ago on Google
    First of all, Inês was a dream! She was SO knowledgeable about everything she shared with us on our tour and made the whole experience so unique & unforgettable! It was our first day in Portugal, and honestly, the best introduction I could think of! When I booked the tour, I wasn’t sure what to expect as I only knew we wanted to try out wines and have some small bites around a nice vineyard! ADEGAMÃE BLEW US AWAY! Amazing wine selections, amazing authentic food, lovely tour filled with history as well as knowledge about the winery. All while enjoying the peaceful views and listening to the iconic Inês! If it was the only thing we experienced while in Portugal, I wouldn’t be mad about it one bit as it was truly special! (Not to mention that the it was worth every penny, if not more!!) Once again thank you to the AdegaMãe family for the incredible experience and even better wines :D I sure hope to come again and bring my entire family!

  • 5/5 Joana M. 3 years ago on Google
    We had a fantastic time at the wine estate. Filipe was great, full of information about the wines and very friendly. The food was delicious and we really enjoyed the selection of wines. We would definitely recommend this.

  • 5/5 Alexandra I. 4 years ago on Google
    Super nice experience! Booked a private tour for a birthday anniversary. The host was a great, communicative person, who shared his knowledge about growing crops, what means 'organic', the benefits and challenges of having such a farm. After a couple of hours outside, we had an amazing lunch, while warming up close to the fireplace. Definitely recommend and will visit also in the summer :)

  • 5/5 clemens j. 4 years ago on Google
    I highly recommend Portugal Farm Experiences and especially the wine tasting experience. We were three couples on vacation in Lisbon and wanted to see also the region around the city. The wine tasting experience was just perfect for that. We had a fantastic time exploring the vineyards, learning about the production process and the history of the producer, and of course also tasting the wines. Catarina, our guide, did a fantastic job showing us around and teaching us how to evaluate and compare different wines. We had a blast! It doesn't matter if you are a sommelier or a amateur like me. Also the booking process with Portugal Farm Experiences was super easy and smooth! We are looking forward to try one of the other experiences they offer when we are back in Portugal! See you soon :)

    This review is more for the excellent customer service that the Portugal Farm Experience offers, moreso than the experience itself, as we unfortunately did not get to attend any of the farm experiences. This was going to be a highlight of our honeymoon. My wife and I have always wanted to learn to forage and love eating mushrooms. I had been following Portugal Farm Experiences on Instagram for a while (check it out, they have great posts and really shows how cool the adventures are), but none of the experiences really caught my eye until I saw the Mushroom Foraging option near Lisbon (where we were staying). It was a perfect match. Signing up was so easy, they arranged a car to pick us up at a nominal fee, and their customer service was very responsive with all of my questions. Unfortunately, we were not able to attend at no fault of ours' or the farms (I blame climate change). Luckily they gave me a complete refund and if I ever return, I totally plan to try again.

    They did a fantastic job from start to finish and Clara the snail farm owner was a sweetheart. We made the ride out to the farm an adventure with all the knowledge of the city and the country side, pointing out the olive farms and funny bits of the culture. The farm is sandwiched between picturesque mountains and slightly above a small town. You learn all about these delicious little creatures and then have a homemade Portuguese lunch with the snails as the star, accompanied by wine and the freshest fruits. This is a must for the adventurous foodies out there!

    Did the Madeira Premium Wine Experience and it was great! Lots of information about Madeira wine and the history around it. Tour guide was very informed and the tour was well-organised. It ended with a tasting plus a discount to the shop. Definitely would recommend!

    We enjoyed a lot the banana plantation tour with our guide, Valter on Madeira. He told us not only about the bananas but also about the local's life a lot so all in all it was a very nice experience.

    Thanks to Andre and Kat's hospitality and passion, I learned a lot and was inspired by their story and their way of life according to permaculture principles. A big thank you for the enthusiasm transmitted, the explanations and the motivation. I would certainly recommend this experience.

  • 5/5 Rahul G. 1 year ago on Google
    Our experience at the farm was amazing. We truly enjoyed learning about the process, visiting the farm and the guest house, learning about how to grow figs, and the best part… picking the figs from the local and eating them! Sr. Manuel was a great person - very warm and welcoming and informative. After the tour, he took us out for drink and we shared stories. Truly it was a great experience and we recommend it. We wish we knew that you can stay at the guest house and experience what it’s really like! We will surely be back to enjoy the moment.

    We had a lovely time at Quinta de Sant’Ana. They were very welcoming and the food was incredible. The whole experience was magical from start to finish. We took our young son and he absolutely loved it. We had a hard time getting an Uber back to Lisbon and they were kind enough to arrange for a taxi to take us back. Highly recommend!

  • 5/5 Ayline S. 1 year ago on Google
    Valter and his organic banana farm were a delight; so was his family. We enjoyed the walk, the teachings, the tasting, and the infusion tea of organic lemon grass and mint. We were also gifted banana and sugar cane roots; can’t wait to grow them in our garden.

  • 5/5 Mahieddine E. 1 year ago on Google
    I had just the chance to discover the snail farm on the website but according to all the opinions and comments it seems that the best welcome is reserved for all candidates. I have already sent an email saying that I am interested in visiting the snail farm I hope to have an answer very soon.

    Couldn’t book online because I was too late but after contacting them, they were able to arrange an orange picking tour. The farm we visited was very interesting and it was very educational. The host was very friendly and kind. We had a great experience!

    Very nice tour with lots of snacking and drinking. Manuel and his son in law Alex are fun and explained a lot about figs and all the other things Manuel grows. Picking the figs from the tree and eating them was a great experience. Manuel said, August is the best month to come as they grow mostly then. Thank you!!

    A fun day. The process was demonstrated and explained very clearly. We also had the chance to take part in making the cheese, which was great fun. The meal was excellent meal, as was the company. A really great experience and a highlight of our trip to Portugal.
