This was a fun tour.... - This was a fun tour. Francesco met us at the designated meeting place and took us to their olive grove. He explained about olive trees and how they produce and the process of making oil. Then we went to his grandparents' home where we tasted olive oil and wine over lunch. It was a great experience

Not to be missed! - We had a fantastic time with Francesco on this olive grove tour. We learned so much and loved the tour as well as the tasting in Francesco’s grandparent’s home. It felt like visiting family! We tried olive oil, balsamic vinegar, balsamic glaze, wine & limoncello and they were all amazing! The traditional Sicilian food we had was absolutely delicious! We ended up buying some olive oil and balsamic vinegar as well as gifts to bring home. Definitely a must do!!

Olive oil at its finest - It was fantastic. Francesco, the owner, gave us a very exciting and entertaining (40min) tour of the olive grove. Afterwards we went to Balestrate for tasting. Besides the excellent olive oil, there was Aceto Balsamic, 2 wonderful wines and Limoncello for tasting. There were typical tapas from Sicily, such as the homemade caponata, which was fantastic. All in all a great tour with great products and nice people. 100%ge Recommendation
