From October to December, the Alentejo celebrates the olive harvest, and the Casa Relvas olive oil mill in Selmes, Vidigueira, opens its doors so you can experience this unique time of year up close. This seasonal program combines the olive harvest, a tour of a working olive oil mill, and an olive oil and wine tasting, ending with a traditional Alentejo lunch.
In the olive grove, whenever the progress of the harvest and the weather allow, you will watch the olives being picked and learn about the techniques used and the differences between manual and mechanical harvesting. You will also compare several olive varieties and discover the characteristics of each one. At the mill, you will follow the arrival of the fruit and the entire extraction process, discovering the modern technology behind the quality of Casa Relvas Extra Virgin Olive Oil.
This will be followed by a technical olive oil tasting of three extra virgin olive oils, exploring aromas, flavors, and textures, complemented by a guided tasting of Casa Relvas wines. The morning will end at the table, with an Alentejo lunch paired with the estate's wines. At the end, you will take home a bottle of Extra Virgin Olive Oil, a t-shirt, and a Casa Relvas hat.
Discover the most authentic side of Alentejo wine tourism and experience the olive harvest from the inside.
