A very important part of the overall Tuscan agricultural production is olive oil. Thanks to the patient care to the trees and the groves, the result of the olive pressing is an unrepeatable oil that you can taste during a visit to a mill.
Arianna & Friends organizes half-day olive oil tasting tours in the best olive pressure facilities of Tuscany.
An English speaking personal tour leader (on request also German, Spanish, French, Italian or Russian) meets you at your premises or at an agreed meeting point and leads you to one ore two oil mills of the best olive oil production areas of Tuscany. During the trip and the visits the tour leader helps you discover all the phases of the olive pressing process and the secrets for a good extra virgin olive oil. Eventually you will have the chance to taste and compare different types of olive oil of local production. The olive oil tasting is accompanied by some local olive oil-based delicatessen and good wines. The tour can be combined with the other wine & food tasting tours: in this case the tour is a full-day trip and includes a complete lunch.

on 20th December 09 from Masao and Atsuko from Japan, joining Massimo in a full day olive oil tour through the best Tuscan mills:

Hi Mashimo,
I hope you are well.

Atsuko and I have just come back to Japan last night. Since we left Tuscany, we went to Sicily(We rent a car and visited a olive mill and a olive grove in Trapani.. It was informative.),Paris, Chicago, and San Francisco.

Thank you again, and I look forward to seeing you again soon!
