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.

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 Sortino.

On this estate, we'll visit the 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.

Next, we'll use virtual reality goggles to gain insights into the process, including how olives are harvested by shaking the 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, 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 on your own from Syracuse.
