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 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 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 required to produce a high-quality product.

We'll use virtual reality goggles to gain insight into the process, including how olives are harvested by shaking the olive trees.

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

Add a Delicious Lunch

If you choose this option, following our 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 pâté, stuffed pizzolo, ricotta, and honey. Drinks include mineral water, white wine, or red wine.
