Roam over the estate

Feel free with the wind on your face as you ride through the estate getting to know every inch of its 780 hectares. You are welcome to discover the ancient menhir, the roman dam, the vineyards, the cereals fields and the storks nests.

Your horse in good hands

If you are planning on having a longer stay at São Lourenço do Barrocal your horse doesn’t have to be left at home. Our stables are ready to welcome him and our team of seasoned professionals will be more than happy to take care of your (big) four-legged friend.

Wine: on horseback or in a carriage

This will be one of the best ways to feel the essence of São Lourenço do Barrocal. Climb aboard our carriage - or, if you are an experienced rider, use one of our Lusitano horses - and relax on this tour of the property and all its most important points: the ancient olive trees, the Neolithic menhir, our vineyards, the Alqueva and much more. In the end, add to all this a tasting of our wines that will take place in the heart of the Alentejo nature.

Discover the medieval village of Monsaraz

Saddle up on one of our Lusitano horses for a breathtaking ride across the estate through a landscape shaped by time. You'll be led past ancient olive trees, a Neolithic menhir, the estate's tranquil lake and rolling vineyards before arriving at the historic Monsaraz Castle. From this hilltop fortress, you can enjoy sweeping views of the Alqueva and its mirrored waters stretching to the horizon.

A trail to the Alqueva Lake

Ride across the estate into the wide open spaces of Alqueva under the twisting branches of ancient olive trees. With Monsaraz as your constant backdrop, follow the trail to the water's edge, where the lake meets the sky in a breathtaking display of light and reflection.
