We met Dylan at the Casa Anadia estate for the full olive experience. The tour delved into the many varieties of olives with a great deal of detail in the process of production and the old vs modern techniques used in oil extraction. We started with a traditional picking method of picking olives with a long stick almost like knights used in jousting. It was quite fun and we where able to harvest a large sack during our tutorial. The tour included a walk on the estate that is linked back to the origins of Portugal. The whole tour was excellent and had a nice mix of history coupled with a crash course on olive oil production. Dylan was a gracious host and very passionate throughout the tour. We ended with a tasting of the various olive oils produced on site with some cheese charcuterie and breads. The toast with oil, pollen and honey was a first and better than I would have imagined. All in all we were there for a few hours and would highly recommend this for an overall cultural tour of Portugal or for anyone interested in experimenting with different olive oils. Dont forget to grab some things from their shop on your way out! They produce some great oils! Thank you again Dylan for your hospitality! I will definitely be back.

Stunning place. Great tour, wonderful guide, finihsed it off eith an olive oil tasting and tapas. History, tourism, agriculture, food, great experience for locals and tourists alike!

Wonderful tour with Pedro. Very informative! We learned so much, not just about how they grow and process olives but also the way of life on the farm. So much history, and the museum and estate are stunning! Then we learned how to taste olive oil(it was our first time), really interesting process … I never realized that an olive oil could be so nuanced. But I have to say that what really completed the tour was the passion, wisdom, friendliness, and welcome we were shown by Pedro and Anna. Absolutely fantastic, would strongly recommend.

Pedro gave us an excellent tour of the Quinta. He is very friendly and knowledgeable on many local subjects. We learned much about olive oil and its production at a beautiful setting. We really enjoyed his candour and insights!

What a wonderful visit to Casa Anadia!! Pedro told so much about the Olive factory and history surrounding it. We walked around the beautiful estate and gardens. Pedro took us completely into the story of then and now around the olive factory. Very interesting and beautiful to see. In the small museum that accompanies it, you can see the entire process from picking to making. The tasting was also really cool! Then you can buy the oil. Highly recommended and a big compliment to Pedro, what a nice and pleasant guide.

Great morning visiting the estate and its olive groves, finishing with a tasty olive oil tasting. Pedro was a fantastic host, very knowledgeable and attentive. The farm and mills was well kept and pleasant to visit, with the castle adding to the charm. The olive oil tasting was charming, blending the classy and rustic. We learned how to appreciate different varieties of oil, paired with regional bread, cold meats and some great wine from the same company.

Thank you very much for the olive oil tasting experience! I can only recommend the tour. Our guide Pedro Cardoso was very competent and no question remained unanswered, so we learned a lot about olive oil. He also gave cultural insights and inspired us to change our eating habits. All the best for the project, I will be back! :-)

This was an amazing experience! Pedro gave us a tour of the property during which we were able to learn so many facts about olive oil making process. It was followed by a great tasting experience full of talks, laughter, and delicious products. We chose an option that included wine from a winery that belongs to the same family, and were so happy we did. We really liked all the wines we tried. I would definitely HIGHLY recommend everyone to take a detour and spend time at Casa Anadia. This was one of the highlights of our time in Portugal.

My husband and I had an incredible private tour of the grounds and museum with Pedro, who was knowledgeable about the company and its history. An olive oil and wine tasting followed the tour. It included a delicious couvert allowing us to sample more olive oil and olives grown on the property. We could not have asked for a better experience.

We did different tours while in Portugal but this one was the best by far! Pedro was a superbe guide. Not only is he extremely knowledgeable in olive oils but also gave us history on olive farming, the different family crests and religions but also some botanical information on some of the different trees on the beautiful property. At the end of the tour, we had a wonderful tasting of the olive oils, some cheese, bread and cold-cuts. It was truly fantastic! Don’t be fooled by the ordinary looking entrance, this tour is worth every penny. If you are looking for something different than the typical wine tastings tours in the area, you’re in for a treat. We’ll never look at olive oils the same again. Thank you Pedro!
