Value for money! - A must to do on your tour list if to understand the process of farm to plate. The guide through the olive oil press process is interesting and includes a video of the machinery working followed by the tasting and lunch. We tasted three different varieties of olive oil. So much food and wine to enjoy!

Great Tour - The host was super friendly and we had a great time shopping at the factory’s store. I would recommend going late October to catch the olive production in action.

Way more than expected! - We had two tastings at two different locations. The second one, at Fracoio Buraschi, was out of this world! We learned so much at the tasting; afterwards, we were served a heavenly meal of typical Tuscan dishes featuring the olive oil made there, and cooked by Alessandra. Every detail was carefully considered - from the way the table was set to each delicious dish prepared - was perfect, and reflected Emanuela’s and Alessandra’s passion for making the best olive oil.
