Ready to book: two days in the Terra Fria in autumn — chestnut woods, Vinhais smoked meats, a Montesinho walk and a tasting of new olive oil at a visitable mill.

The XXI Rural Castanea takes place from 23 to 25 October in Vinhais. This Sunday, for the first time, the festival launches its Olive Grove Technical Sessions — with Azeite a Norte on stage. Come listen, taste and discover.

Retreats, groups of friends, families and teams: where to stay together, what to do in the grove, and who to contact for olive oil tourism in Trás-os-Montes.

The chestnut harvest fills the soutos of Trás-os-Montes each October, just as the olive harvest begins. Discover autumn's two great harvests in Northern Portugal.

October in the olive grove: harvest begins. Green or black? The technical decision that defines quality. Guide for tourists: harvesting experiences in Trás-os-Montes.

Autumn in Trás-os-Montes and Alto Douro: thermal springs, olive oil massage, boardwalks, and the harvest about to begin. A wellness guide for the season of return.

The olive groves changed color without warning — yellow edges, olives painted, the silvery-green of the leaves turning with the whims of a wind that is no longer the wind of August.
