Ostuni: Degustazione Olio d'Oliva in Masseria Antica con Passeggiata tra Ulivi Millenari

We really loved the tour around the estate and learning about the olive trees. The old mill press underground was impressive to see and perhaps the best part. The tasting itself was simple. Three olive oils from plastic cups. The whole thing, however, felt a bit minimal. It was, though, a great experience and we loved that our guide spoke English that actually sounded like English. And the estate is impressive !

Paying 40€ per person to see 4 olive trees and to listen 15 minutes about how olive trees grows…not even close to satisfaction. Tasting at the end includes 3 little glasses (five drops of oil) and water. We were group of 8 people, meaning 240€ for 15 min walk to the farm&some explanantion of how they used to make oil in the past (underground museum). Worth money and time to drive there. Not recommended at all. Maybe for people who never seen oil tree or have never been in Italy at costal area. They should at least give us a small bottle of olive oil as a representative gift.

We had a lovely walk through the olive tree grove followed up by seeing the original underground processing floor. We tasted 3 different oils along with taralli and fresh olives. Our guide, Angela, was very friendly and knowledgeable. We lengthened our visit with some appetizers and wine in their lovely dining room. We would recommend this tour.

Most liked the grounds. The guide was young and not very knowledgeable about olive oil. Didn’t explain well the difference between say their oil and another mfc. And the three oils we tasted she really didn’t show enthusiasm for them or the process. The woman at the front desk seemed harried and when we asked to buy some oil she was almost rude. They said they had three types of oil and when she showed us the cabinet there were only two and she dismissed it. The old olive trees are lovely.
