The Unique and World Heritage city of Évora
Tour Evora (UNESCO World Heritage)
Portugal is the world's leading producer of cork, and Alentejo is one of the regions where the cork oak tree is among the most common sights in the countryside. Our trip begins by introducing you to "The Art of Cork" at a factory and store located in Evora, providing insight into this essential resource.
Following this enlightening encounter, proceed to the wine tasting session, featuring an assortment of five regional wines paired with traditional Portuguese tapas bites. This event offers guests a chance to savor some of the finest offerings produced within Portugal's renowned vineyard region. Please note - vegetarian options are limited during these tastings. Wine sampling is complimentary yet optional; if preferred, participants may opt instead for lunch or dinner arrangements made prior to their booking date.
Post indulgence comes exploration – delve deep into the heart of historic downtown Evora itself. A designated site under protection due to its cultural significance according to UNESCO standards, there truly isn't shortage when exploring what makes up such unique urban fabric here. During today's guided walkabout expect encounters like gazing upon remnants left behind after centuries gone past including iconic landmarks reminiscent of ancient Rome alongside majestic cathedrals standing tall against changing times...and many other hidden gems waiting just around corners begging attention amidst cobblestone streets echoing tales untold since medieval days long forgotten now.
