What you can expect

  • Visiting this thousand-year-old olive tree is not just about seeing a tree. It's about connecting with the land. It is tasting the 'liquid gold' that has flowed in these parts since time immemorial. A flavour that carries the sun of Ribatejo and the resilience of this historic tree.
    There is a different energy under this olive tree. It is an invitation to slow down, breathe, and feel the weight — and the lightness — of three millennia.
    The experience is also culinary, as it includes tasting local dishes in addition to the typical tiborna (warm bread dipped in olive oil).
    While the Roman Empire was rising and falling, and while Portugal was becoming a nation, this olive tree was already here, silently watching the world go by.
    On this experience, you will meet the oldest inhabitant of Portugal: The Mouchão Olive Tree awaits you in Mouriscas with inspiration and lightness!
    The experience is even more memorable with the aforementioned “Millennial” tasting.
