Olive Mill and Winery Experience at Castiglione in Teverina

About this tour

Spend three hours at a family-operated olive mill and winery in Castiglione in Teverina, where owners walk you through their pressing operations and cellar before sitting down to lunch. This is working-farm hospitality rather than polished tourism—expect conversation, dust, and genuine generosity. You'll taste oils and wines made on-site, paired with food the family has prepared from their own ingredients.

Highlights

• Watch olives pressed in a traditional mill
• Taste estate olive oil straight from production
• Meet the winemakers and hear their story
• Lunch cooked by the family using their produce
• Local cheese, bruschetta, pasta, and house wine included
• Informal, unpretentious working environment

What to expect

Arrive at a modest, functional property—this isn't a resort. The owners will show you around the mill in casual fashion, explaining their methods without script or spectacle. You'll taste their olive oil alongside wines they've made, learning how they approach both crafts. Lunch happens at a table on or near the property: fresh salad, local cheese, bruschetta drizzled with their oil, a hot dish (often pasta), and wine throughout. Conversation flows naturally; locals don't perform for visitors. Wear clothes you don't mind getting a bit marked up.
