Finish with a vinaigrette masterclass paired with local cheese, charcuterie, bread and wine.

What to expect
You'll arrive at an active olive orchard where the owner explains the trees, harvest and pressing methods specific to the region. The sommelier leads a structured tasting of several oils—you'll learn to detect aroma and flavour differences. Then comes the hands-on blend: you select from available oils and mix your own 200ml bottle to take away. Finally, gather for vinaigrette preparation using your new oil, paired with fresh salad, local cheeses, cured meats, olives and tapenade. Wine pairings (red or rosé, then white) accompany the food.
Good to know
This is adults-only; children and dogs aren't permitted. Infants may sit on a lap if necessary. The experience is private to your group only. Wear comfortable shoes for the orchard walk. You'll leave with a 200ml bottle of your custom blend.
