The tour of the Lagar Museu dos Galegos articulates the past and the present of the Northern region of the Alentejo, showing the full course of the product, from the entrance of the olives into the facilities, to the final acquirement of the delicious olive oil.

Daniela greeted us with a friendly smile and a warm welcome. She was much more that a guide, in fact if you are looking for one of those tours where the "guide" just puts a tape on, this won't be for you!! Daniela is passionate about what she does, she is very knowledgeable and was great at sharing it us with enthusiasm. We felt like we were visiting a friend that showed us around. A friend that takes good pride of what he does! It was definitely very captivating. From the olive grove to the press room, including a olive oil tasting with local products, This was one of the best tours we have been. We didn't even see the time go by! Thank you so much for this great experience.

A great diversity of learning approaches taken to keep the visitor interest up. My wife and I loved the smuggling coffee game and our barista one-on one knowledge booster session. The whole place is sprinkled with fun facts and the treatment of human coffee culture is especially fun.

Also need to visit is the “Military Museum” located in the “Quartel do Casarão”». The name of the barracks was placed in memory of a large building that Cosmander, a Dutch Jesuit, had demolished in the 17th century. In the museum you can find all kind of things related and used by the military of Portugal. Those things are placed as well on the inside and on the outside. It will take some time to visit the complete museum, but it is worth every step. Certainly for people who love the military stuff.
