Olive Oil Tour: Mill + Tasting

On this visit to an olive oil mill in Sortino, we'll learn about the production process and enjoy an olive oil tasting and a delicious lunch. Discover the flavours of Sicily!

Delve into the World of Olive Oil

Italy is one of the main producers of olive oil in the Mediterranean, especially in regions such as Sicily. To learn more about the production of extra virgin olive oil on the island, we'll meet at the Terra Surti estate, located on the outskirts of the town of Sortino.

On this estate, we'll visit its olive oil mill, where we'll see how the olives are transformed into olive oil and learn about the various stages of the process required to produce a high-quality product.

Next, we'll put on our virtual reality goggles to gain insight into this process. Through virtual reality, we'll see how the olives are harvested, including shaking the olive trees.

After a tour of approximately 1 hour, we'll conclude our visit with a tasting of extra virgin olive oil, a fundamental component of Mediterranean cuisine.

Add a Delicious Lunch

If you choose this option, at the end of the visit to the olive oil mill, we'll enjoy a traditional Sicilian lunch on the estate. The menu includes traditional bread, olives, cured cheese, salami, bruschetta with traditional pâté, stuffed pizzolo, ricotta, and honey. Drinks include mineral water, white wine or red wine.

Important

Please note that this tour starts in Sortino, so you will have to go there on your own from Syracuse.
