Crane’ s eye view | Herdade dos Grous
Or you could see this fabulous estate by horseback, which must be really invigorating. For anyone interested in horse riding, Herdade offer their visitors days of riding on one of their home bred horses.
I am not a fisherman, however I was invited had I the time to spend an hour of two of peace on their 200-acre lake. I understand fishing is very popular in Portugal, what a place to spend hours
contemplating the future! And a return visit would have to include a hot air balloon flight over the Alentejo- surely a perfect way to see the largest region of Portugal.
You also need to allow time to enjoy the wine tasting, always given by an expert and to spend time in their extensive wine shop. For you will undoubtedly want to take something of Herdade home with you, souvenirs of the estate and the region or some of their most fabulous mild olive oils.
The Vila Vita Hotel group has a mission statement – it reads At times, something unique and extraordinary is created. Herdade dos Grous is all of the above.
