What goes into the cuisine of the Herdade do Esporão Restaurant goes in this order: local, regional, national, and whenever possible certified organic. They make their own bread, cure their own meats, make their own preserves. What is not used in a timely manner becomes fermented, dehydrated, or canned, and the leftovers are donated to local institutions or to Refood.
They do not use single-use plastic and encourage suppliers to do the same, through a system of reusing packaging for orders. There is no cling film and they prefer reusable containers to the vacuum machine.
Besides everything that goes on backstage, on the main stage you can enjoy a meal with a view over the vineyards, in a space whose decoration and architecture are marked by local materials, favoring the authenticity of what it is to be in the Alentejo.
