Olive Oil Tour: Mill + Tasting

On this visit to an olive oil mill in Sortino, we'll learn about the production process, enjoy an olive oil tasting, and have 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 Sicily. To learn more about the production of extra virgin olive oil, we'll meet at the Terra Surti estate on the outskirts of Sortino.

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

Following the tour of approximately 1 hour, we will use virtual reality goggles to gain insight into how the olives are harvested, which includes shaking the olive trees. The visit 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, after visiting the olive oil mill, we'll enjoy a traditional Sicilian lunch on the estate. The menu includes bread, olives, cured cheese, salami, bruschetta with 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 need to travel there from Syracuse on your own.
