Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, for your group only.
Portugal is a real, genuine major global cork producer.
A cork oak needs to reach about 25 years of age before its bark can be harvested for the first time, and that initial strip is considered lower quality. It typically takes until the third harvest — roughly 18 years after the first — for the cork to reach the quality used in premium wine stoppers. Cork oaks are then harvested on a cycle of about nine years and can be stripped more than a dozen times over a lifespan that can exceed 200 years.

About This Tour
A private tour for your group only, real stops covering Alentejo wine and the genuine Portuguese cork industry. This is a private tour for your group only. Real content covers Alentejo wine tasting and Portugal's genuine, distinctive cork industry.
Portugal is the world's largest cork producer, and the Alentejo region alone accounts for roughly 85% of the country's cork output — around 54% of the entire world's cork supply comes from this one region. The cork itself is the bark of the cork oak (Quercus suber), stripped by hand without harming the tree, which can live more than 200 years and be harvested over a dozen times across its lifespan. A tree needs about 25 years before its bark is mature enough for a first harvest, and even then that first strip is considered lower quality; only from the third harvest onward, roughly 18 years later, does the cork reach the quality used for premium wine stoppers.
This tour builds its day around that real, distinctive local industry — the rolling cork-oak landscape, or montado, that defines so much of the Alentejo's scenery — alongside the region's wine. Alentejo wine production has its own long regional identity, shaped by the same hot, dry climate that suits the cork oaks, and tasting stops on this tour let your group sample that production directly rather than just pass through the landscape that grows it.
The day's route also touches Évora's surroundings, giving a private, flexible way to connect the cork country with the historic Alentejo capital's own real heritage — a pairing that works because the region's identity genuinely rests on both: centuries of wine and a cork industry still central to its economy today.
