Don't Miss This EVOO Tasting - The owner met us and led us out to the farm and the olive trees. Here we were lucky to be the only 2 people to tour the olive grove with Frederica. My husband even experienced using the mechanical branch shaker to drop the olives! This was followed by a light brunch and olive oil tasting. Overall, a very friendly and informative experience. The EVOO that is produced is excellent. Some is going home with us!

Great experience! - It was an amazing experience. It’s in the third generation of ownership. It starts with your of olive grove which is beautiful followed by seeing production machines and then tasting. The tour guide was very sweet and the tour was interesting and informative. The owner is very charming and spent time with us during the tasting and they also give various snacks and wine :) The olive oil was delicious - and they sell itl in so many sizes. it’s great for gifts

Must do in Sicily - Absolutely a must do!! We toured the olive groves and then learned how olive oil is made. But the best part was the olive oil tasting and lunch with the owner. He is a great guy and entertaining. The olive oil is amazing and can’t wait for the package we will get from adopting an olive tree. Definitely will be back next time we are in Sicily.

Would definitely recommend. - Very informative tour about growing and production of Olive Oil in Sicily. An authentic experience at a farm with its own olive press. Lunch was tasty too and a generous amount.

Exceptional oil - Terra Surti extra virgin olive oil is a real discovery! The intense and fruity flavor won me over from the first taste. I also really enjoyed the opportunity to visit the oil mill and discover the traditional production processes. An authentic experience and a product of the highest quality.

I'll never look at olive oil the same way again! - I'll never look at olive oil the same way again. Seriously. This was a fantastic experience. Our host, Federica, is lovely and curated a wonderful visit for us. We toured the groves and the production facility, then had our tasting and lunch in their insanely cool tasting room that I wanted to live in (you have to see it for yourself). Their was even a VR presentation, which was such a great added touch. Federica is so knowledgeable about the entire process of making olive oil, from the growing and harvesting, to the production and selling. We learned so much about olives and how they are used. Very happy we spent our time here.
