Embark on a sensory journey into the heart of Tuscany with our exclusive tour dedicated to the rare 'Seggianese' Extra Virgin Olive Oil. Located on the slopes of the majestic Monte Amiata, this experience invites you to uncover the secrets of a unique olive variety that thrives in this distinct cool-climate micro-environment.
Your 120-minute immersive experience begins with a gentle, guided stroll through the Millenary Olive Park. Surrounded by the fresh, silver-green fronds of ancient trees, you will learn about the history and cultivation of the wild Seggianese olive, a treasure found exclusively in this corner of the Val d’Orcia. Your guide will explain how the dramatic temperature variations of the mountain slopes contribute to the oil's complex, succulent flavor profile.
Following the grove walk, you will visit our boutique winery, where tradition meets innovation. We will explore the production spaces where our premium wines and oils are crafted, before heading to our panoramic terrace. This stunning vantage point offers breathtaking, uninterrupted views of the rolling Tuscan hills, olive groves, and sprawling vineyards—the perfect setting for the highlight of your visit.
Prepare your palate for a guided journey through the 'Olive Oils of Italy.' We will host a comparative tasting of Extra Virgin Olive Oils from various Italian regions, including Tuscany, Liguria, and Apulia. You will learn professional tasting techniques, discover how to identify sensory qualities, and understand exactly what makes our Seggianese oil a true culinary gem.
To complete this gourmet experience, we will serve a curated selection of typical local products. Indulge in a platter of aged artisanal cheeses, savory Tuscan salami, and traditional local recipes, all sourced from small-scale producers who share our passion for quality and authenticity.
