Olives, tastes & traditions

A guided journey among Nocellara del Belice olive trees to discover organic farming techniques and the secrets of olive milling, ending with a sensory tasting and typical local products.

You will be accompanied on an outdoor walk through organic olive groves, fully immersed in the typical landscapes of the Sicilian countryside. This activity allows you to connect with local agricultural traditions through stories of the territory's history and an in-depth look at the unique characteristics of the Nocellara del Belice cultivar. During the field tour, you will learn about organic cultivation techniques before moving to the production facility, where you will discover every stage of the extra virgin olive oil production cycle.

You will actively participate in the experience through a sensory workshop: you will learn the correct techniques for a technical oil tasting, discovering how to recognize a high-quality product and how to distinguish its main aromas, flavors, and organoleptic characteristics on the nose and palate. The session includes a guided tasting of the farm's own EVOO, perfectly paired with a selection of typical local products and seasonal specialties.

Depending on the time of year you visit, the activity can be enriched with hands-on moments tied to countryside life, such as direct participation in the olive harvest or live demonstrations of the production process.
