Private Olive Oil Tasting in Polignano a Mare

About this tour

Spend three hours at Villa Delle Rose, a hilltop estate overlooking Polignano a Mare, tasting extra virgin olive oil from their own groves. The hosts—multilingual and welcoming—pair tastings with locally sourced aperitivo spreads, homemade lavender products, and regional wines. You'll sample oils pressed from their Puglian harvest whilst taking in sea views across one of the coast's most photogenic towns.

What to expect

You'll arrive at the villa's terraced gardens where the afternoon unfolds at an unhurried pace. Your hosts walk you through their olive oil production—from orchard to bottle—then guide you through a proper tasting, explaining flavour profiles and harvest techniques specific to Puglia. Between tastings, nibble on regional cheeses, cured meats, and house-made spreads. The aperitivo includes wine and soft drinks. The lavender fields are yours to explore; ask about the small-batch soaps and oils if interested. Expect conversation rather than lecture.
