Olive Oil and Winery Tour from Zaragoza City

About this tour

Spend five hours in rural Zaragoza learning how two cornerstones of Spanish food culture are made. Start at a traditional olive mill where centenary trees yield the local Empeltre variety, then head to a winery in one of Europe's oldest protected wine regions, established in 1932. You'll taste both products with knowledgeable local guides, travel by air-conditioned vehicle, and enjoy light snacks throughout.

Highlights

• Meet olive producers at a working mill with century-old trees
• Taste Empeltre olive oil straight from the source
• Tour a DO Cariñena winery from 1932
• Sample wines from the grape's native region
• Private transport included in countryside routes

What to expect

You'll start in the countryside north of Zaragoza with a working olive producer who explains their craft from grove to bottle. Expect to walk through rows of mature trees and see the milling process up close, followed by a proper tasting of their oil. The second half takes you to an established winery where staff walk you through their cellars and pour wines made from Cariñena grapes. The pace is relaxed—this isn't rushed sightseeing. Both tastings are genuine, not theatrical.
