Amazing tour - I booked this tour for me and my family and we all had a wonderful time! My mother is disabled so we were a bit worried because there is a little bit of a walk up a hill. Adriana was very accommodating and sent us photos and a video beforehand which was very helpful. The hill was no issue in the end so if you have problems with mobility, I wouldn’t worry too much. The tour itself takes place in the olive grove and at the house. The views from the grove of Calabria and Sicily are beautiful. I loved watching the sunset and I would recommend bringing a camera if you have one. The tour was very informative and we all learned a lot about olive oil. For the tasting portion, it ended up being a full dinner. I wouldn’t make reservations with a restaurant after this tour because we were all very full. The food was amazing and it was all from their garden. We were travelling with one person who is vegetarian and there was a lot for them to eat. Afterwards, we bought some products to bring home. If you are travelling without a checked bag, they did sell some smaller versions of the olive oil. Overall, this is a fantastic tour and I highly recommend it! My favourite olive oil was the orange flavoured one. My family also really loved the rosemary, lemon, and onion one.

Fantastic time - This was a most memorable experience . The passion shown by Antonio and Adriana for their work was evident. They are two of the nicest most genuine people I have encountered. After learning so much about olives they served a fantastic meal all from their farm including their own wine. My only thing to recommend is to make sure you have transport to and from prearranged as it is a little isolated

Fabulous experience - Fabulous experience!!! We came on a family vacation from Canada to discover my husband’s Italian heritage. He grew up in this region picking up olives by hand as a child…. Times sure have changed! Our hosts were absolutely wonderful at explaining the entire process and we truly enjoyed all the very delicious products from their farm. We honestly felt like family. We highly recommend this visit.

Best experience ever - This was the best time spent ever. Antonio and Adrianna are amazing hosts that walk you completely through the olive oil process from vineyard to tasting in a fun and informative way. Their passion for olive oil making is obvious and they love sharing it with you. Afterwards, the tasting of all their oils with bread, meat, cheeses along with house-made wine is a dining experience that’ll make you want to come back again and soon. They make you truly feel welcome and as if you were in their home. My wife and I loved it and we highly recommend it.
