Total Solar Eclipse Picnic at Finca Artajo: Olive Grove Viewing in Navarra

Finca de Aceite Artajo in Fontellas, Navarra, Spain offers a rare chance to watch the total solar eclipse of 12 August 2026 from inside the band of totality. The experience at Artajo pairs an evening eclipse viewing with an olive-oil introduction and a curated picnic among working olive groves. Your visit begins in the shop area with a 20‑minute initiation to olive oil, followed by a 20‑minute tasting and presentation in the sala de depósitos, where stainless tanks and wooden casks frame the story of Artajo's AOVE. After the tasting you receive a picnic bag and your chosen drink, plus a complimentary cubitera de hielo, and are shown to a reserved shaded area—choose an exterior table, interior table, or grassy picnic space—while unobstructed sky views remain just a few steps away. The picnic menu highlights regional specialties: pan campero drizzled with Artajo AOVE, jamón ibérico de Carrasco, roasted Artajo almonds, gildas with AOVE, chips fried in olive oil, and Idiazábal cheese—children receive a simplified selection. Every guest also receives homologated eclipse glasses; the program culminates in the phase of totality expected around 20:28–20:29h. Sessions run on staggered schedules (English 17:30, French 18:00, Spanish 18:30); plan to arrive 10–15 minutes early to check in. This is special for Navarra because it combines a hard-to-find astronomical moment with the agricultural rhythms of the region. Artajo sits squarely inside the eclipse band, so you get both scientific spectacle and sensory grounding: the smell of crushed olives, the sharpness of Idiazábal, and the tactile weight of tasting spoons in the dépôt. Accessibility is thoughtful—the finca notes access for strollers and wheelchairs and offers lower tables for guests with reduced mobility. Practical notes matter: outside food is not permitted, so the included picnic is your meal; bring sun protection and comfortable shoes; staff recommend arriving promptly. The cancellation policy is strict around the event—full refund if you cancel seven days ahead, 50% up to 48 hours before, and nonrefundable inside 48 hours—cloud cover does not guarantee a refund. Guides speak English, Spanish, and French, making the experience approachable for international visitors. If you want a night that pairs spectacle with terroir, this Eclipse Picnic at Finca de Aceite Artajo is a clear choice: a small, convivial setting rooted in local production where the sky goes dark and the taste of Navarra comes alive. Included in the ticket are homologated eclipse glasses for each guest, a tasting of Artajo AOVE, a picnic bag with Artajo 10 (100 ml per person) and an extra 1.5 L bottle per two adults, plus the complimentary ice bucket—details that make this both a practical and pleasurable way to experience the eclipse without logistical fuss.
