About The Cork
A brand with deep roots and a clear purpose: to live wine, slowly.
The Cork was born from the desire to offer more than accommodation:
An experience of reconnecting with what truly matters.
More than rooms with vineyard views, we create retreats where time slows down, the senses awaken, and memories gain flavour.
We connect wine to the place where it’s made, and to the moment when it’s lived.
Each of our properties is unique, but they share the same purpose: to welcome with elegance, respect nature, and celebrate authenticity.
Authenticity - honouring local tradition and culture
Tranquillity - spaces to breathe, reflect, and be present
Elegance - subtle luxury in every detail
Excellence - service and atmosphere beyond expectations
Connection - to the land, to people, to time
The story that inspires us
Since ancient times, cork has protected wine and preserved its aromas. At The Cork, the act of uncorking a bottle symbolises much more: it’s opening a pause, starting a conversation, celebrating a place.
We draw inspiration from the wine-growing traditions of Portugal and France, from landscapes that breathe history, from knowledge passed down through generations.
We are attentive hosts, passionate about the land and the art of hospitality. And we invite every guest to become part of this story, with time, with pleasure, with presence.
What we want to inspire
We believe tourism can and should be transformative, for both visitors and hosts.
That’s why we create experiences that awaken the senses and inspire new ways of being.
We want you to feel part of the place. For every wine tasting to become a moment of connection.
For every sunset to be an invitation to silence and enjoyment.
Whether in a stately home in Burgundy, a villa among vineyards in Torres Vedras, or a century-old estate in Castelo Rodrigo, our goal is always the same: To offer you quality time, beauty without excess, and memories that mature slowly.
Uncork - Our ritual
“Uncork” is more than opening a bottle - it’s about releasing, letting go, breathing.
It’s the ritual that opens the way to the unexpected, the intimate, the unforgettable.
At The Cork, we believe in the power of intentional pauses.
That’s why we invite you to slow down, look around, and let yourself be touched by the simplicity of a meaningful stay.
