About this tour
Spend two hours at a family-run olive estate overlooking Lake Garda, learning how award-winning oils are produced from tree to bottle. Walk through working groves and the production facility, then taste three distinctive oils using professional tasting techniques alongside local pâtés and cured olives. The panoramic setting—360-degree views of hills and water—frames an afternoon rooted in genuine flavour and generations of craft rather than polished tourism.
Highlights
- Walk among productive olive groves with lake and Alpine backdrop
- Access the production lab and storage to see oil-making firsthand
- Taste three estate oils using professional tasting methodology
- Sample infused oils and pâtés on fresh bread
- Learn family traditions from growers who work the land daily
What to expect
A guide meets you at the estate and leads you through the olive groves, explaining cultivation and harvest practices specific to this microclimate. You'll then move indoors to see how olives become oil—pressing, filtering, and storage all visible. Back outside or in the tasting room, you'll use proper tasting glasses and palate-cleansing techniques to evaluate three oils side by side, noting differences in flavour, texture, and aroma. Pâtés and olives accompany each oil, grounding the sensory experience in food rather than theory. The whole visit unfolds at an unhurried pace; children and adults alike find it engaging rather than academic.
Good to know
