Maria was the consummate host. She educated us about quality olive oils, instructed us how to taste and provided a pairing with the region’s cheeses, prosciutto and bruschetta. Equally enjoyable were the several wine samples Maria shared. We counted ourselves fortunate that we were the only two at the table. We thoroughly enjoyed the experience and Maria’s hospitality. If a small, intimate venue with a gracious, knowledgeable and passionate host is of interest, then by all means book one of Maria’s tastings.

Olive oil is the blood of Umbria

Susan_T, Oct 2025

My husband and I spent 2 1/2 weeks in Italy and the olive tour was a highlight. Not only did we hear about growing and processing the olives we sipped wine and ate appetizers on the deck overlooking the beautiful valley.

A wonderful experience in a family owned grove!

Maria and her family were as knowledgeable as they were entertaining. The olive oil, wine, and balsamic tastings were very educational. Overall a very enjoyable experience that I would highly recommend.

Tasting, Learning and Relaxing in a Beautiful Setting

Margie_H, Apr 2023

We very much enjoyed our time at the beautiful Tili Vini Società Agricola. Maria and her daughter were fun and engaging hosts / teachers. We learned a great deal from our tastings of both delicious olive oil and wines. Special thanks to them for baking awesome, home-made, gluten-free bread and biscotti for the person in our group who had that dietary need. We very much recommended this tour to others!

Almost perfect!

For the most part this is an excellent tasting and I would definitely recommend it! It was really informative, friendly, and fun! However, the 30 minute video at the beginning needs to be eliminated from the experience or cut to under 10 minutes. There is a lot of valuable information in it but it is lost by the excessive boring and empty parts that only take away from the message. That’s why I am giving only 4 stars instead of 5.

A wonderful way to spend an afternoon!

Mama and her family made us feel so welcomed and like we were part of the family! The wine, olive oil, and food was delicious, the conversation was light and easy, and the farm was peaceful. We will be sure to visit again if we're in the area!
