Wild Herbs Walk & Tea Blending

Three hours in the Barão de São João hills learning what actually grows there, ending with a tea blend you mix and take home.

This is an example listing. Nothing here has been visited or verified.

Good to know

Inês states which plants may not be picked and why, and makes no health claims about any of them. The walk covers uneven ground for about three hours.

How we select

Is this for you?

Is this for you?

A good fit if you…

  • Want to leave able to identify six plants, not sixty
  • Like walking that stops constantly
  • Are curious about what is safe and what is not

Probably not if you…

  • Want distance covered; this is about 4 km in three hours
  • Are allergic to Mediterranean pollens in spring
  • Expect medical advice — Inês is careful to give none

    Walk into the hills

    Twenty minutes to get clear of the road, learning the first two plants on the way.

  2. 2

    Forage what is in season

    Slow work with a basket. What you can pick depends entirely on the month.

  3. 3

    Blend and taste

    Back at the table: dry, weigh, blend. You leave with a labelled bag of your own mix.
