Review
We loved our tour! We had a private tour with the owner, who took us through some giant olive trees and organic lemon orchard. She taught us about the history of agriculture in Sicily and how it had changed for modern times. We saw the process of how olive oil was made, and then we got to taste some of their delicious extra virgin olive oils that they make right there on the property. She taught us how to properly sample the oil, and we tasted the quality of the EVO right away. The tasting was fantastic- it came with bread, fruit, cheese, and of course olives. We bought some olive oil to take home with us- tastes great on a salad!
This was a fantastic tour with a great knowledgable guide. The tasting was delicious and they sell beautiful bottles of olive oil to take away if you want it!
