A wonderful drive through the olive grove region ending at the source for olive oil anufacturing. Be prepared to be impressed.
Thank you so much for your review! We are so happy you enjoyed the ride and the olive oil tour!
We ended up being the only visitors on our tour date, so it was basically a private tour. We had a great time and learned a lot about the process of harvesting olives and making olive oil. Anastasia is the queen of olive oil and she gave a great tour of her family’s farm. She was excited to answer any questions we had and taught us how to properly taste olive oil and what to look for when buying it. The food at the end was truly delicious, the vegetables were fresh from Anastasia’s garden and the olive oil was obviously amazing!
Thank you for your feedback, Blaise! We’re glad you had an enjoyable experience and appreciated Anastasia’s expertise. We look forward to welcome you back, for another adventure in Peloponnese!
Many good explanations in English on all aspects of growing and extracting olive oil Friendly and welcome!
