Olive Grove Walk, Olive Oil Tasting and Traditional Lunch in Chianti

Discover the world of extra virgin olive oil with an authentic experience in a working farm in the Chianti area, surrounded by the scents and landscapes of the Tuscan countryside. The experience begins with a guided walk through the olive grove, where you will learn about biodynamic farming and the concept of living soil. Along the way, you will explore the differences between conventional and natural cultivation, understanding how biodiversity plays a key role in the health of olive trees and the quality of the oil. After about one hour, the activity continues with an extra virgin olive oil tasting, where you will learn the professional tasting technique known as “strippaggio.” This hands-on moment will help you recognize aromas and notes such as artichoke, almond and fresh grass, and understand how to identify a high-quality oil, rich in polyphenols and naturally bitter and spicy. The experience concludes with a traditional Tuscan lunch, designed to highlight how olive oil enhances the flavor of food. The menu includes bruschetta, fresh vegetable pinzimonio, a traditional soup (such as ribollita or pappa al pomodoro), and dessert with cantucci and vin santo, all accompanied by water and wine. A complete experience combining nature, taste and agricultural culture, perfect for those who want to explore Chianti in an authentic and immersive way.
