Meet the maker day
Spend a full day discovering Olive Hill Sabina10.30am - 3pm
€80 per person,
including lunch and drinks
March though to mid June,
and September
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, you’ll see “work in progress”. Spring, for example, is pruning season. Visit us in March or April to find out the when, why and how we prune our trees – maybe you’d like to have a go yourself, under our guidance? September is the season of “veraison”, 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, we’ll 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. We’ll also teach you how to recognise quality oil from its packaging. Scott, who is a Professional Olive Oil Sommelier, lead you through a tasting session. You’ll have a chance to taste a selection of oils from all over Italy, including our own Great Taste AWard Winning, Organic EVOO
After all that fresh air, you’ll be ready for lunch! We love to showcase our delicious Sabina produce, so we’ll start with a selection of of local antipasti, followed by a homemade pasta dish (vegetarian / vegan options available) and an olive oil themed dessert, all washed down with delicious, complementary wine, beer or soft drinks.
Finally, you will have the opportunity to purchase our Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil, while stocks last.
Please note the Meet the Maker Days are available to over 18s only.
