Thursdays & Sundays,
excluding July and August
Your day begins with a guided tour of our olive grove: learn about its history, the organic farming methods that we use, and discover how we look after our trees throughout the year.
Depending on the season, youβll see βwork in progressβ. Spring, for example, is pruning season. Visit us in March or April to find out the when, why and how we prune our trees β maybe youβd like to have a go yourself, under our guidance? September is the season of βveraisonβ, the time when the olives are ripening and changing colour from green to reds and purples. Help us to assess the maturity levels of the crop, and decide how soon we could be harvesting.
After your time in the grove, weβll teach you about Extra Virgin Olive Oil: what it is, how it is made, how it should taste, and how to select it in the shops. Weβll also teach you how to recognise quality oil from its packaging. Then weβll lead you through a tasting session. Youβll have a chance to taste a selection of oils from all over Italy, including our own!
After all that fresh air, youβll be ready for lunch! We love to showcase our delicious Sabina produce, so weβll start with a selection of of local antipasti, followed by a homemade pasta dish (vegetarian / vegan options available), washed down with delicious wine from our region.
Finally, you will take away a taster tin of our latest vintage Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil; there is also an opportunity to purchase more (while stocks last).
