Excellent family experience! - Andreia and her family were 5* throughout the program! Not only the entire explanation related to the olive process but the final snacks were exceptional! Everything homemade!
I advise everyone to have a little more than 1 hour of your time, it’s really worth it!

Definitely worth a visit! - What a lovely afternoon! Andreia was fantastic! Very friendly and knowledgeable, and we learned a lot. The tasting at the end was brilliant! Plenty of delicious things to try and there was no question we were buying a few items from their shop - so much good produce available and very reasonably priced.

A taste of Portugal - A very interesting and entertaining tour of the factory from Andreia, followed by an opportunity to taste a variety of olives, other products made on the premises and regional delicacies. It was a lovely way to spend an afternoon.

Olives are not the only thing you get to try and learn about! - We had a great tour of the facility and it was very informative! The daughters and mother were very welcoming and had a great sense of humour. We tried various olives, cheese, wine, mother's homemade bread, jams, olive oils, etc. We enjoyed this tour and highly recommend it.

Great way to support local industry - Great short tour with tasting at the end. Provides insight into how olives are processed for eating as well as the importance of each step the manufacturer takes. We tried olives from different stages of production with cheeses, bread, orange honey and jam. Not to mention they had a good selection of local wines. The location is a little off the beaten path but has great beachy areas about 5 to 10 minutes drive up the road if you arrive too early or want to enjoy after the tour. Parking was in the fenced lot next to the building. The tour guide may mention that the buildings were struck by a bad storm years ago so don't be put off by that as your participation in the tour goes toward the wellbeing of the company. Very lovely tour guide and beautiful olive tasting!

Nice tour and tasting, also for children - Ideal activity to do in bad weather or to alternate with swimming, boat trips and snorkeling.
Interesting tour in a local family business. Andrea, the guide, spoke fluent English and was funny too.
After the tour you could taste and buy homemade products: olives, bread, tapenade and a glass of wine or freshly squeezed fruit juice.

Something a little different to do. - Andrea's talk was very good and the tasting was very generous and although it was out of season for the processing of the olives this did not spoil the interest.
