About

We will walk around the olive trees and – between October and November - we will witness the hand-picking of the olives which will then be taken to the mill to be transformed into precious extra-virgin olive oil.

After the olive grove, we will admire the vegetable garden with its seasonal harvest. The day will continue with the tasting of our extra-virgin olive oil, offered with home-made bread, baked in the large wood-burning oven of the house. At this point, we will pick the tools and prepare together the best typical dishes of the Campania tradition, following the recipe.

You will live your experience in a breathtaking location, from which you can admire our wonderful coastline and the green hills of Salerno! During the summer, you will be sitting in the garden, while you will enjoy the warm of the fireplace in the winter cold days and you can end your day tasting what you have prepared with your own hands, accompanying everything with the excellent red wine of our production.

In some periods of the year (between October and November) it will be possible to watch the olive harvest! In the other months, admire the olive trees with a guided tour!
