Visit olive grove centenary with oil tasting course

About this tour

Walk through three centuries of olive cultivation in a family-run Spanish grove, guided by a farmer who tends these ancient trees daily. Over 90 minutes, you'll learn how organic methods keep the soil and plants thriving, then taste oils that showcase the grove's character. It's a straightforward look at what goes into pressing olives and why time matters in this landscape.

Highlights

• 300-year-old olive trees still in active production
• Learn organic farming practices from a working farmer
• Taste oils made from the grove's own harvest
• Walk among gnarled trunks and see seasonal crop stages
• Flat terrain, accessible for buggies and all fitness levels

What to expect

Your farmer host will walk you through the grove, pointing out the oldest trees and explaining how they manage pests, water, and soil without chemicals. You'll see the physical work involved—pruning patterns, seasonal rhythms, pest management. Then you'll move to a tasting space where you'll sample the estate's oils, learning how harvest timing and pressing methods change flavour. The whole experience is low-key and practical rather than formal.
