Cook the Farm Portugal

In Portugal’s Alentejo, wide skies stretch over olive groves, grazing pastures, and vineyards rooted in ancient soil. This is a land shaped by agriculture and time, where the rhythms of farming still guide daily life.

Over ten days, we’ll step into this landscape and meet the people who keep its traditions alive: shepherds, farmers and winemakers, whose work is inseparable from the land around them. From cellars where wine ferments in clay amphorae, a practice carried forward from Roman times, to the vast montado system, a unique mosaic of cork oak forests, pasture, and biodiversity, we’ll explore how food and farming continue to shape the region’s identity.
