It’s an opportunity to try and taste local produce and special gastronomic combinations, both local and international, while showing solidarity with the men and women who work hard to preserve local varieties and perpetuate the know-how associated with our region’s local produce.

We’ve got you covered…

After your arrival at the estate and a chat about the region and our estate, we’ll set off together for a short stroll through the olive groves. You’ll see the different varieties of olives we produce and meet our team. Men and women who care for our trees and their fruit with passionate love.
