Private Wine & Evo oil tasting with Saffron Meal

About this tour

What to expect

You'll arrive at a working farm and be greeted by the family who run it. They'll walk you through their vineyard and olive grove, explaining their approach to soil and seasonal cycles. Then you'll sit down to a four-course lunch: saffron bruschetta opens things, followed by saffron pasta, then poached eggs or cold cuts with cheese, finishing with vanilla ice cream or cantucci biscuits dipped in vinsanto. Throughout, wines they've made themselves accompany each course. Between dishes, you'll taste their oils and balsamic—the kind that matters, aged properly and made on the property. It's unhurried and conversational.
