About this activity

Embark on a sensory journey through olive oil heritage at the historic Oil Mill located in the heart of Puglia.

Step into an 18th-century masseria (farmhouse) surrounded by vast olive groves and learn from expert guides how extra virgin olive oil has been produced here for generations.

Explore both ancient and modern oil-making techniques, from the underground mill in a scenic medieval cave to the contemporary press room, and discover how olive varieties are selected and transformed into premium oil. You’ll hear fascinating stories about the land, the olive trees, and the traditions that shape this iconic Mediterranean product.

The experience culminates in a guided tasting of multiple extra virgin olive oils served in professional tasting glasses. Compare flavours and aromas like a true sommelier — learn to recognise the organoleptic qualities that distinguish high-quality olive oil.
