Wonderful experience! Will definitely recommend to friends visiting Portugal!
Really enjoyed the tour. Our guide Andrea was exceptional. There were plenty of olives for sampling and wine, ham and cheese. There is a really nice shop too selling all sorts of artisan wares.
I truly enjoyed this tour and the information provided on olive oil production. It was fun and entertaining, food and olive oil tasting was real satisfying. It is a small family business that you support by visiting (and maybe purchasing a gift in their shop). Within walking distance from Tavira. Thank you so much and keep up the good work!
Experience was entertaining and interesting. We were shown the process and machines as well as being able to taste 5 varieties. The tasting included meat, cheese and breads as well as olive oil, sauces and a fig balsamic vinegar that was amazing. Several types of wine and home-made lemonade were served as well. The little shop had lots of product. This was well worth the time and money!!
Andrei made us feel welcome from the start. We were early. And there was somewhere to sit and have a drink if you wanted. She was enthusiastic and knowledgeable throughout the tour. Then we got to sample their olives and oil. With some ham cheese and Mama s home made bread. And a wee glass of vino. An excellent experience.
We had a great tour, where we gained insight about the harvest and the further processing process. From edible olives to olive oil. Then we were able to taste the different types of olives extensively. It was just super interesting!!
The team were so lovely and welcoming - a lovely local business with great staff and amazing olives and wine ! (And homemade peach lemonade!)
Enthusiastic ladies who talk about their work with passion and love. Delicious products, which we were all allowed to taste while enjoying an exquisite wine.
Great event! Very nice hosts, it was very entertaining.
Very interesting tour,however seeing the operation of the olive harvest would be amazing
