Explore the world of Italian olive oil and other regional cuisines with oil and delicacies tastings at a small vineyard in Marano di Valpolicella-Verona! The twisted olive trees have grown in Italy alongside rows of vineyards for centuries. Like wine, olive oil is a cornerstone of Italian cooking. Like wine, different types of olives are used to make olive oil, resulting in a wide range of flavors and smells that are only heightened when coupled with dishes from the local cuisine. From Sicily and Puglia in the south to Trento in the north, olive oil is produced across Italy. We invite you to the center of oil and wine production, where you can enjoy the real taste of Italian specialties.

We'll begin by taking a stroll through the olive tree garden while telling you the history of our family's farm and properties. We will tour the antique cellar and see the old, traditional, secret room where we gather the oil. You'll learn how we make our organic extra virgin olive oil and how to read the label on an Italian oil that is Italian. We'll end with a great tasting of olive oils from different parts of Italy, like Tuscany, Liguria, Apulia, and Veneto, showing how they look, smell, and taste differently. For the most exquisite tasting, we pair the oil with local cheeses called Monte Veronese (of different ages), salami from Valpolicella, and fresh S. Anna bread. Enjoy your stay on our fantastic terrace with a unique view of Valpolicella's hills!
