Great day! Thank you! - Absolutely fantastic! Had a great tour of the olive trees, the historical milling equipment, and the new modern process on how to make olive oil. They had a great showroom and store along with an oil tasting.
They also squeezed us into the pizza making class and chef Luca was great on explaining how to make and prepare the dough along with the pizza itself. Thank you Luca for being patient and polite on explaining how we were not doing it correctly at home. The cherry on top was we then ate the pizzas for lunch while sitting in a patio overlooking the ocean along with a great of the volcano. They also served wine, appetizers, desert, and limoncello.
Thank you to the entire team for a great day!

Frantoio Gargiulo: A Cultural Dive into Olive Oil - Our visit to Frantoio Gargiulo was much more than just an olive oil tasting; it was an immersive experience steeped in local culture and tradition.
As we arrived, we were warmly welcomed and introduced to agricultural life from a century ago. The guide shared fascinating insights about the traditional houses, tools, and the manual labor involved in olive harvesting.
The informative tour through the garden was particularly impressive, showcasing not only the myriad of olive trees but also unique hybrid lemon and orange trees.
Next, we went into the factory where olives are transformed into oil. It's incredible to note that what is now a modern, state-of-the-art facility was, just 25 years ago, entirely manual, relying heavily on the efforts of farmers and their trusty donkeys.
The highlight of our visit was certainly the tasting room, where we sampled an array of olive oil varieties, ranging from unfiltered DOP to chili-garlic flavors. Our favorites were the delicious Serenum, lemon, and white summer truffle oils.
In addition to the oils, we enjoyed fresh vegetables from the garden, delicious confitures, and a variety of glazes, with the lemon options being standout selections. It was also intriguing to learn how they utilize "left-overs" from the oil production to create various cosmetic products; while not personally my preference, our friends thoroughly enjoyed them.
The experience culminated in a delightful lunch accompanied by local wine and liquor tastings on a stunning terrace with breathtaking views.
The meal began with a selection of typical local appetizers, followed by a delectable ravioli dish featuring ingredients renowned in Sorrento. We ended our culinary journey with a flavorful beef stew, ensuring our meal was complete with the iconic "Delizia Limone" and refreshing Limoncello.
Each course was thoughtfully paired with lovely local wines, with the 2017 Taurasi standing out as the highlight of the day.
After such a fulfilling experience, we relaxed by the pool, opting for a light dinner later in the evening.
Overall, our day at Frantoio Gargiulo was a wonderful blend of cultural education, exquisite flavors, and breathtaking scenery.
Highly recommended for anyone looking to deepen their appreciation for olive oil and the local heritage!

Amazing from start to finish - Truly amazing experience from start to finish. We opted for the Olive Oil tasting and farm tour experience and we couldn’t recommend enough. From start to finish the staff were kind and accommodating and went out of their way to make us feel welcome. We learned the history of the farm and the process of making olive oil all while tasting the beautiful creations made there. We even got to try figs fresh from the tree! At the end of our tour we were brought upstairs to the most beautiful view- it was an experience I will never forget and we will definitely be back to try out the wine tasting next time! Definitely recommend (and make sure to pop back to their shop once you’re done 😉)

I loved my selection and can’t wait to get cooking with them! When booking my trip, Antonino was so easy to work with and again very helpful. When in Sorrento, definitely book in and taste the amazing products!

Yam miam the tasting of Sorrento olive oil - Great tasting of different olive oils and Limoncello. The person who took care of us was very kind and explained the manufacturing process well. It is possible to visit the site for 20€ per person. Their oils are very good and tasty, at reasonable prices.
I highly recommend it.

Amazing experience. Fabulous location. - Must visit.
this is a very special place with all local produce. The staff are so knowledgeable and helpful.
We probably tasted around 20 different oils and some 10 balsamics. Then finished off with Limoncello varieties.
Good value for money and they are not pushy for sales. I would highly recommend to do this.
We paid a bit extra to be picked up and dropped off at our hotel. Well worth the extra money.

Taste local produce - You can taste everything. Everything they sell in their store. Apart from the vegetables in jars that you can only taste in the farm restaurant with a wine of your choice. Excellent product.
Wines are not given but the one I drank was beautiful.

Tasting and Lunch - During a tour of the region, our driver recommended Gargiulo for an olive oil tasting and lunch. They had an array of olive oil, jams, limoncello, and balsamic vinaigrette. Let’s just say we shipped some of their products back to the United States. After our tasting, we enjoyed spectacular views on the rooftop for lunch. The multi-course meal was outstanding and our waiter provided us with top notch service
