Corktrekking by Herdade da Maroteira offers outdoor experiences in the Alentejo region of southern Portugal, introducing visitors to the area’s cork oak forests, olive groves, vineyards and historic landscapes. Based at a 330-acre family-owned estate on the slopes of Serra d’Ossa, the business combines nature, local heritage and wine experiences.

Guests can choose quiet walks through the cork fields or longer trekking routes that explore cork production and its heritage. Guided 4x4 tours follow dirt roads across the farm and surrounding countryside, reaching areas that are less accessible on foot. Activities may also include birdwatching and visits to remains of human settlements in Serra d’Ossa.

Wine experiences take visitors to the estate’s vineyards, where they can learn about the journey from grape growing to the glass and taste Maroteira wines, including internationally acclaimed selections. Visitors can also enjoy typical Alentejo cuisine at a local restaurant and meet the people and traditions of the countryside. Corktrekking provides a personal way to discover the region’s landscapes, culture and rural life.
