Super interesting! How cork is grown, harvested and processed. Time well spent!! Amazing how many years before the cork reaches its best production.

Very informative and well maintained tour. Excellent creativity in product design. Fascinating in knowing how cork harvest, the cork tree is a type of Oak tree and it took such a long time to grow and processed into our wine bottles. I will definitely cherish the arts in the making of any cork products.

Excellent information about a topic we should understand. The guide was professional, perfect English and simply explained the process of harvesting the cork and preparing for quality, separating the cork destined for different products. Safe environment and amazing experience.
