Cork farm tour
 
We are looking for a comprehensive cork farm tour the third week in May. We would like to plan a day trip from Lisbon. We really don’t want to combine it with wine tasting. Any suggestions would be helpful. There are 4 of us, so a private tour is not out of the question. Thanks.

The cork farms are found in the Alentejo (mostly) and Ribatejo regions. Amorim is the largest producer.
Many of the excursions from Lisbon combine a tour of a cork farm with wine tasting because that's what the clients prefer, a two-for-one since the Alentejo region is quite famous for its wine production as well as cork.
But you might look at this

Not in may
 
Hi thx for your response. That’s the tour we really wanted but it’s not available in May. Any other suggestions?

Most of the cork farm tours actually depart from the source, from the Alentejo region, but you might check this one

I just remembered that I had mentioned the above on your other thread.
