Italian countryside experience. - We were not sure what to expect. The trip to the farm was an adventure on the winding roads up the mountain. Our guide gave us a tour of the farm and a chance to see the beautiful scenery from the top of the mountain. The tasting was nice but could have been more informative. The olive oil was delicious. We were surprised to also get a wine tasting thrown is since another couple had just finished their wine tasting.

Enriching activity, amazingly beautiful place - When arriving at the Tenuta we felt like in a movie: perfectly maintained 16th century house at an absolutely amazing location, overlooking the hills and the valley.
The activity was beautifully arranged to the smallest detail: plates, cutlery, cheese board, seating with a view.
Beatrice is a kind host, who walked us through olive tree grove and vineyard.
Tasting different varieties of olive oils is enriching. We learned and enjoyed a lot.

Surreally beautiful estate, lovely activity - The Tenuta (Estate) looks surreal, sited on a hill, overlooking the countryside. 16th century facilities are maintained perfectly.
Table arrangement, plates, cutlery, cheese platter, everything to the smallest detail was perfect.
Beatrice is very kind guide, she walked us through the olive trees and wine yard.
Tasting different varieties of olive oil is enriching experience.

Tenuta Santa Maria Valverde Visit - After arranging bus transportation for us from Verona, our DOP Olive Oil visit was amazing. We received individualized attention from our hosts, explaining the history of the place and why it was special. The olive oil tasting was paired with 3 glasses of Tenuta Santa Maria Valverde‘s wines and a cheese and meat platter. We got to share our visit with another wonderful couple that we met during our time there. All in all, it was a highlight of our wonderful stay in Italy.
