Informative, Professional & Delicious! - A fantastic experience that I would wholeheartedly recommend. Having met Pierluigi we jumped into his car and headed to the olive grove five minutes away. There we learnt how olive trees are pruned to maximise yield, how the soil is tendered and how challenging it is to be an organic producer in the modern agricultural world. A superb experience and perfectly delivered in English before back to his production plant for a home cooked meal prepared together with his mother. The food was accompanied by a glass of local white wine and I've have less accomplished meals in Michellin stared restaurants - it was that good. A brilliant and quite unique experience just outside the beautiful town of Vieste. Do not miss out book today!

Great visit where we learned everything about the olives - We had a great evening ice party with Pier. We learned everything about olive production - from how to care for the trees to seeing the finished product tapped in our own olive oil bottles. Pier was a superb host and guide, where the academic talk about the olives was spicy with funny remarks and anecdotes from the area. We concluded the visit with a great meal consisting of the best products from the area. Best recommendations from here.

Discover the world of oil - Experience and passion, a stop for those who really want to understand the world of oil, debunk the myths and beliefs that we Italians often give for truth and taste a local monovarietal accompanied by excellent local and quality products. Bravo Pierluigi!

Fun olive oil 101 - What a fun and educational experience we had with Pier! He took his time and thoroughly explained the entire lifecycle of his trade, from how he cares for the trees and soil to harvesting the olives to get his tasty organic olive oil. It clearly showed that it's not just his job, but also his passion. We concluded our day with an amazing spread, prepared by his mother. A wonderful way to spend an afternoon drinking, learning and feasting with a passionate, enthusiastic and friendly host!

Very interesting and delicious experience! - In September 2023, my girlfriend and I had a tour of the olive groves of Olio Biscotti, followed by a delicious burschetta tasting. Pier talks with a lot of passion and dedication about the family business and how they have been making olive oil for "some time". Definitely one of the most beautiful experiences of our holiday in Puglia.

Olive groves are an art, not a hobby. So interesting - Wow... Amazing tour with Pier. I grew up on a dairy farm in Wisconsin so I was curious on the process of growing an olive grove. Pier explained from the soil all the way to harvest and beyond. He will go as in depth as you want and it was super informative. It actually ended up being a great late afternoon evening out with a fabulous sample of local foods to eat at the end which ended up being a meal. HIGHLY recommend Pier on this tour.

Amazing experience - I took this tour with my friends yesterday. We had a really great time and learnt so much about the olive trees- this made us appreciate the organic olive oil even more. Pierre is a real passionate and a great spacialist- his knowledge about the entire process and industry is amazing. He answered all of our questions and was so friendly and hospitable. At the end of the trip and delicious dinner he invited us to taste his homemade limoncello. Because it got dark when we finished and we were on foot he suggested to give us a lift to our Aibnb. We will definitely remember this evening as one of the best from our Apulia trip. Thank you Pierre!

Highly recommended- really interesting - The experience was interesting and extremely informative. It was great to get out into the olive groves learning from a passionate professional while amongst 500+ year old trees. Makes you appreciate olive oil even more, and those who produce the organic product.
