The company presents five distinct tours that introduce visitors to olive cultivation, production, and tasting, from brief sensory sessions to full harvest participation. Tours include the six-hour Oleocultural Jaén, which blends olive oil tasting with a guided walk through historic Jaén sites; the expert-led Cata de Aceite de Oliva, featuring a virtual reality 3D journey through the harvesting process; Ser Olivarero por 1 Día, a three-hour hands-on harvest and pressing experience where participants bottle fresh oil; Oleoturismo con los 5 Sentidos, a two-hour sensory tour with 3D immersion and estate flora and fauna; and Experiencia de Oleoturismo y Gastronomía del Mediterráneo, a four-hour visit combining oil tasting, VR immersion, and an 'AIRES' menu crafted from local ingredients.

Activities take place on Finca Badenes and surrounding olive groves in the Jaén region, using immersive 3D cinema for process demonstrations and guided tastings led by experienced hosts. The experiences emphasize authentic local gastronomy, hands-on harvesting where offered, and clear, scheduled tours ranging from two to six hours.
