Wonderful experience. The kids enjoyed it and we learned so much about olive oil and the process! Book this tour; you won’t regret it! The Olive grove is family owned and the group was so nice and helpful. Marianna is super sweet and their olive oil is delicious!

I had the most amazing tour and tasting at this beautiful grove. Marianna is a very charismatic and compelling storyteller who explained everything from the biological processes in the olive tree that affect flavour, to the various manufacturing approaches and grades of product, to how to properly taste the oil and notes to look for, and even some unlikely culinary applications for it Honestly I feel like a new world has been opened up to me.
