About this tour
Spend a morning at a family-run olive farm in the Alicante countryside, walking through groves to see how oil gets made from tree to bottle. You'll taste several oils side by side, then settle in with local cheeses, cured meats, fresh bread and Alicante wine at a terrace overlooking the mountains. The whole experience runs about four and a half hours and works best if you're comfortable walking on uneven ground.

- Watch the pressing and production process up close

What to expect
You'll arrive at the farm and spend time outdoors among the olive trees, learning how the crop is grown and harvested. Inside, you'll see the equipment and production methods firsthand. The tasting happens next—you'll sample several oils with bread, comparing their flavours and qualities. Then everyone gathers on the terrace or in the main house for a seated picnic lunch with local cheeses, cured meats, fresh bread and pastries, washed down with a couple of glasses of local wine. The whole pace is relaxed rather than rushed.
Good to know
Wear comfortable shoes suitable for walking on farm paths. Bring sun protection. The farm is accessed by air-conditioned vehicle. A moderate fitness level helps—you'll be on your feet for parts of the tour, but nothing strenuous.
