Tenuta Santa Maria Valverde Visit - After arranging bus transportation for us from Verona, our DOP Olive Oil visit was amazing. We received individualized attention from our hosts, explaining the history of the place and why it was special. The olive oil tasting was paired with 3 glasses of Tenuta Santa Maria Valverde‘s wines and a cheese and meat platter. We got to share our visit with another wonderful couple that we met during our time there. All in all, it was a highlight of our wonderful stay in Italy.

Great Experience! - Great tour, incorporating all the differnet stages of olive oil making. Lunch and staff were both lovely and the vineyard was beautiful.

Perfect - What a wonderful time! Had a great time meeting the family and also enjoyed meeting A wonderful group of people to enjoy that afternoon with! Wonderful Day!!

Wonderful experience - Great experience! Highly recommend. Excellent explanations of wine making and show of the olive tree. The additional wine tasting was a great surprise and we enjoyed it immensely. The oil tasting was also interesting: I have a better idea what to look for in an EVOO.

Best winery and wine tasting ever. - The setting, knowledge person to tell us about the wine and olive oil By far the BEST wine tasting tour ever. Molto Molto grazie Dorothy Seal

Fantastic olive oil tasting in a beautiful vineyard - This was a really fun tour at a beautiful family vineyard. We enjoyed touring the vineyard with our guide. She was very knowledgeable about the area, vineyard and history of the land. The olive oil tasting was delicious and we enjoyed the wine. Thank you so much!

Beautiful vineyard - Great service. It started with them picking us up after we had taken a bus to the wrong valley. Peaceful, idyllic, good food, good wine. and very nice people.

Fascinating and informative! - Directly from the bus pick-up, the ‘tour’ started. He told me all about the region and its history while driving to the vineyard. The atmosphere was very welcoming and it really showed that everyone at the vineyard is passionate. The history of the area but most of all the company itself was fascinating. The tasting was great and the wines were amazing. Even though it was rainy and cloudy, the views were breathtaking. I really recommend to go!

Beautiful day in paradise - Definitely one of the highlights of our trip! The owners are so nice and could not be more helpful and friendly. We paid a bit extra for some pasta, bread and dessert. The food was delicious and the olive oil was amazing and a learning experience how they differ.

Not what we paid for - We booked this Olive Oil tour with our friends and family, because we read the amazing reviews about how families got to learn about the process of making olive oil. We thought the 3 kids in our party (ages 7, 10 and 12) would love this experience. But sadly, what we got was some kind of combination tour -- most of the people on our tour were there for a vineyard tour and wine tasting... and that is what they dedicated 95% of the tour to -- with a couple of minutes thrown in to talk about how olives are grown. We never even heard about how the olive oil is made, didn't get to see ANY of the process, and when we asked, we were brushed off. We did get an olive oil tasting at the end but it felt rushed and the person leading it left to deal with the wine tastings so that we had to do the tasting by ourselves. Honestly, it felt like the tour operator was overwhelmed and had too many things going on. She seems nice, and was knowledgable about wine, but that is not the tour we wanted or paid for. The adults already knew plenty about wine and the kids were bored out of their minds. I texted her at the end of our tour to let her know we were disappointed by our experience and never heard back. Sadly I can't recommend this tour. Perhaps they had an off day or the person who normally does the Olive Oil part wasn't there, but I feel like they could have been honest about what was going on.
