Tour and Superior Wine and Olive Oil Tasting
A sensory journey through an ancient olive grove, a working winery, and the finest regional flavors.
This wine and olive oil tasting tour offers an intimate encounter with centuries-old agricultural traditions, guiding you from the roots of an ancient olive grove to the refined complexity of six handcrafted wines and six extra virgin olive oils. The experience lasts between 90 and 120 minutes and is designed to be accessible for all levels of knowledge and interest. A curated Mainova board of regional cheeses, cured sausages, local bread, and artisan jams completes the tasting.
The visit begins in an ancient olive grove, where the landscape itself tells the story of generations of cultivation. Guests learn how the terroir, tree age, and harvesting methods directly influence the character of the olive oils they will taste. This grounding in the land makes every subsequent flavor more meaningful.
Inside the winery, the tasting moves from a preliminary sample drawn directly from a stainless steel vat to a structured flight of six wines. Each pour is selected to illustrate a distinct expression of the region, and the accompanying food board provides the ideal pairing context. The format is unhurried, informative, and built around genuine discovery rather than spectacle.
