Puglia: An Olive Oil Tasting Experience

We follow a quiet path through the countryside towards an extraordinary grove of ancient olive trees, where the history of Puglian olive oil is still written into the landscape. Guided by the estate’s farmer-sommelier, we discover the traditions behind local cultivation before tasting three organic extra virgin olive oils produced from trees of very different ages.

The Experience

Among the Ancient Trees

The experience begins with a walk through the farm, slowly making our way towards the thousand-year-old olive grove. Along the way, stories of rural life, cultivation and traditional olive oil production offer a deeper understanding of the landscape and the families who have worked with it over generations.

Three Generations of Olive Oil

At the tasting, we discover three organic extra virgin olive oils, each connected to a different generation of olive trees. One comes from the estate’s thousand-year-old trees, another from century-old trees, while the third is a blend produced from the youngest groves. Tasted side by side, they reveal how age, variety and cultivation shape the final oil.

From Grove to Table

The experience is less about simply tasting olive oil and more about understanding where it comes from. The walk, the stories and the oils themselves create a slow introduction to one of Puglia’s most deeply rooted agricultural traditions.

Beyond the Experience

An Invitation

We walk beneath olive trees that have stood here for centuries, listening to stories shaped by the same land beneath our feet. Later, three oils are poured side by side, each carrying the character of a different generation of trees. It is a simple experience, but one that makes us look at something familiar in an entirely new way.

We look forward to welcoming you
