Adventures

Covering a third of the country, Alentejo is one of the largest winemaking regions in Portugal. There more than 60 wineries in the region and experiences range from visiting the winery, wine tasting, gastronomy, to safaris in the cork oak forest.

An adventurous yet relaxing way to enjoy the countryside. Ride along Alqueva Lake, admire views of Monsaraz and Mourão Castles and watch for local wildlife like eagles, rabbits and maybe even a fox.

Balloon flights create an atmosphere of luxury and sophistication and are a perfect way to celebrate a special occasion. It is also the ideal way to discover the scenic views of The Great Lake, Alqueva, one of the largest artificial lakes in Europe.

Add magic to your stay by enjoying the sunset on a cruise boat through the great lake, Alqueva.

If extreme sports are your magic, water skiing and wakeboard are a possibility, among other sports such as canoeing or stand up paddle.

Alqueva was the first site in the world to be certified by the Starlight Foundation as Starlight Tourism Destination. The low rate of light pollution provides the ideal conditions for an observation of the dark sky, a privilege the majority of people in Europe no longer have.

Alentejo concentrates 70% of the production of olive oil. Test your senses with a olive oil tasting and experience the richness and variety of the ancestral Alentejo olive oil culture.
