JOIN THE OLIVE HARVEST
An olive harvest is one of the most fascinating experiences you can enjoy in Portugal. It is a wonderful way to learn a lot about local food traditions and about the local culture. Those who tried it, tell that the enthusiasm of the olive farmers and the atmosphere in a working olive oil mill during the harvesting season is something definitely special.
​
You can experience the olive harvest, be part of the olive oil production process and learn about the strive to make a high quality extra virgin olive oil! If you want to help and harvest with us daily for three or more days, here is your chance!
You will stay in a guest room at one of our two guesthouses. After a good breakfast you will have guidance by us on how to collect and sort the olives. There will be a light lunch midday and then the work continues in the afternoon.
​
At the end of the day you will enjoy a great dinner with everybody around a big cosy dinner table. It is a fantastic chance to make friends with lovely people from around the world and to get satisfaction from a unique experience.
