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, particularly in regions like 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 Sortino.

At the estate, we'll visit its olive oil mill, observing how olives are transformed into olive oil while learning about the various stages required to produce high-quality products.

Next, we'll use virtual reality goggles to gain insight into this process, seeing how olives are harvested, including the method of shaking the olive trees.

After a tour lasting approximately 1 hour, we will conclude with a tasting of extra virgin olive oil, a key component of Mediterranean cuisine.

Add a Delicious Lunch

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