About this tour
Step into a working Tuscan mill to watch extra virgin olive oil being pressed from fruit to bottle. You'll taste oils guided by the millers themselves, then move to the on-site tavern for a spread of bruschetta, local cured meats, Pecorino di Pienza, and regional red wine, finishing with cantucci biscuits dunked in Vin Santo. The whole experience takes about an hour and leaves you with the option to buy oils and other area products—pecorino, wines, honey—directly from the source.

What to expect
You'll begin at the mill itself, watching the machinery and process unfold—no fancy theatre, just the real mechanics of turning olives into oil. The millers then walk you through a tasting, teaching you what to look for in quality EVO. After that, you'll move into a rustic tavern space where food and wine appear: toasted bread with oil, regional cured meats, creamy pecorino, and a local red wine poured generously. Everything tastes better when you know where it came from. The final touch is cantucci—those hard almond biscuits—softened in sweet Vin Santo. It's casual and convivial, not rushed.
Good to know
The entire venue is wheelchair accessible, prams and strollers welcome. Service animals are permitted. Public transport runs nearby if you're not driving. One hour covers the mill tour, tasting, and meal—pace yourself with the wine. The shop stocks everything you've just tasted if you want to take bottles home.
