Discover the world of extra virgin olive oil right where it comes from, among the morainic hills and Lake Garda. This experience at a family-run olive oil tourism farm combines scenery, culture, and taste in a true “sensory game” that is also suitable for children.
During the guided tour, you will learn about the history and culture of the olive tree on Lake Garda and visit the olive grove, with a description of the landscape and natural surroundings of the farm, as well as nearby points of cultural interest. You will then continue to the farm's workshop and the rooms dedicated to storage, to learn how a quality oil is made and how it is preserved.
The highlight is the tasting: guided directly by the owner, you will smell and taste different products in the official tasting glasses, learning to recognise aromas, intensities, and characteristics. You will taste 3 types of extra virgin olive oil: Garda DOP, Selezione Premium and Oro del Vajo, accompanied by bread with pâté, olives and condiments obtained by infusion (such as chilli pepper, lemon, basil, rosemary and garlic). It is an experience designed to explore the properties and uses of the oil, with a simple, engaging and practical approach.
Depending on the season, there may also be practical demonstrations: olive harvesting (October/November) or pruning (February–April). At the end of the visit, if you like, you can purchase oil and local products, including a cosmetic line made with Garda PDO oil.
