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 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 will meet at the Terra Surti estate, located on the outskirts of Sortino.

On this estate, we will visit the olive oil mill, see how olives are transformed into olive oil, and learn about the various stages of the production process for a high-quality product.

Next, we will use virtual reality goggles to gain insights into this process, including how the olives are harvested by shaking the olive trees.

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

Add a Delicious Lunch

If you choose this option, after the olive oil mill visit, we will 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 on your own from Syracuse.
