Discover Alentejo through your own hands. This private full-day experience takes you away from mass tourism and into the living craft traditions of the Alentejo, connecting you with local makers, specialist artisans and the natural materials that have shaped the region for generations.

Discover the stories and traditional knowledge behind each craft, then work directly with the materials and create something of your own. Rather than watching demonstrations created for tourists, you will experience local craftsmanship where it is genuinely practised, alongside people connected to these traditions. Instead of simply seeing Alentejo traditions, you will meet the people who keep them alive, touch them, shape them and become part of their story.
