Fascinating tour of olive trees and about the pruning and care of the trees. Interesting to learn how he has used a drone to inspect the trees for potential insect or other concerns.
The lunch was delicious! 👌

This was a fabulous introduction to the production of Extra Virgin Olive Oil, and Pier was very generous with his time and explanation of this generational family run farm. Harvesting olives from 600 year old trees that require pruning and caring is a year long process. Managing the environmental aspects of running an organic operation provides significant challenges, and we learned a lot about the olive oil industry. Our educational tour was followed by a wonderful tasting session which was a delicious Italian experience and we really enjoyed meeting Pier and his mother during our visit.

Pier was truly an amazing guide. His passion and love for olive oil growing, harvesting, and processing was contagious. We learned more than expected and thoroughly enjoyed the experience.

A fantastic experience that I would wholeheartedly recommend. Having met Pierluigi we jumped into his car and headed to the olive grove five minutes away.
There we learnt how olive trees are pruned to maximise yield, how the soil is tendered and how challenging it is to be an organic producer in the modern agricultural world.
A superb experience and perfectly delivered in English before back to his production plant for a home cooked meal prepared together with his mother. The food was accompanied by a glass of local white wine and I've have less accomplished meals in Michellin stared restaurants - it was that good.
A brilliant and quite unique experience just outside the beautiful town of Vieste. Do not miss out book today!

We had a brilliant time with Pier, soaking in his knowledge and experience in organic processes of keeping his olive groves. We are grateful to have walked amongst Pier’s beautiful trees, hundreds of years old, to have learned of the work he puts in to them, and to hear of his sense of responsibility he holds towards the planet, and to the health of our bodies. He is generous with his time and his sharing. To top it all off, Anna prepared us extraordinary plates of food, accommodating our dietary requests.

We had a great time doing the ‘olive oil’ tour , we started with Pier ( the owner) in his beautiful olive tree grove. The trip to it and the grove itself would have made it already very memorable. Pier explained very clearly how to grow olives environmentally friendly and sustainable but also economically. His enthusiasm and his passion for his work is very contagious.
The excellent dinner , wine and discussion back at his home provided an unforgettable finish to a tour, we can wholeheartedly recommend!

From the moment we contacted Pierluigi he was so responsive and inviting! The love for his family and his history of the olive groves and his trees comes through as we were greeted on his family’s property and the production of such a quality olive oil. The addition of traditional Puglian food and care from his Mother was a very special touch and made our evening feel like we were family. We highly recommend this experience!!

Pier was amazing!
He was so personable and so knowledgeable and bent over backwards to answer every question and explain the process of making olive oil, from planting the trees to growing the trees to pruning the trees to harvesting the olives to taking them to be pressed to storing them in the stainless steel vats. After an amazing trip to his Olive Grove, he returned us to the tasting room, where his mom had prepared a phenomenal anti-pasta spread, complete with meats, cheeses, olives, three kinds of olive oil, red wine and finally lemoncello and Muscat as an after dinner treat! We felt so spoiled!
We highly recommend this experience! It is 10 out of 10!
