Olive Oil & Tradition

Uncover the secrets behind one of the Mediterranean’s most prized ingredients, olive oil, while exploring some of the Algarve’s most charming and historic villages.

Discover the authentic essence of the Algarve on a journey through its flavours, traditions and ancient heritage. The experience begins at a traditional olive oil farm in Moncarapacho, where you’ll stroll through sunlit groves, learn about the harvesting process and visit the mill where olives become liquid gold. Finish with a guided tasting and enjoy the rich aromas of different olive varieties.

Continue to the peaceful village of Santa Catarina, a rural haven where time seems to stand still. Surrounded by rolling hills, small chapels and untouched landscapes, it offers an intimate look at the Algarve’s traditional way of life.

The day concludes in Estoi, where elegance meets history. Visit the grand Estoi Palace, a 19th-century rococo masterpiece with lush gardens and impressive tiled details. Nearby, step into the past at the Milreu Roman Ruins, an archaeological site featuring mosaics, thermal baths and the remains of an ancient villa. A tour that beautifully blends culture, nature and history.
