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.

After a tasting of our products, I invite you to a lunch that will take you on a gastronomic journey through local and international flavors.
