Olive Oil Tour near Ostuni: Mill, Museum and Tasting

This olive oil tour near Ostuni starts at an up-to-date mill with a two-phase continuous cycle, where you follow each step of turning olives into extra virgin oil. Technology meets the centuries-old Apulian tradition of olive growing.

A guided tasting class follows, teaching you to tell aromas and flavours apart, moving from green, fruity notes to a peppery finish. You then walk scenic trails among olive trees, past stone shelters with vaulted roofs and drystone walls.

• The modern olive mill
• The Farmer's Lamia, a small museum of rural life with tools and photographs
• An underground (hypogean) olive mill cut into the rock

The visit ends in that centuries-old underground mill. Allow about an hour and a half and dress for the outdoors, with comfortable shoes. The programme may change with the weather or operational needs. Meals and drinks beyond the tasting are not included, and it is not suitable for people with food allergies.
