The tour begins with an introduction to organic olive farming, focusing on cultivation methods that result in healthy trees and top-quality olive oil. You will learn to identify some of the varieties of the olive tree and will acquire basic (or more advanced if you are interested) knowledge of growing olives.
We will give you a briefing on the exciting, ongoing research on the health-giving properties of excellent olive oil and you will learn about the role of oleocanthal in promoting good health. We will show you around the farm and then if you wish you can participate in watering, pruning, repairing stone terraces, mending nets or picking olives (harvest is from October onwards). Finally, you will enjoy a well-deserved tasting session, with our own delicious olive oil and different accompaniments. You will be given a bottle of olive oil to take home with you.
Your tour will take place be between 09:00 AM & 15:00 PM. The exact time will be confirmed once your booking request is made (normally within 24hrs).

This amazing tour, tasting, and delicious farm to table food pairing was a trip highlight! Costas was an extremely gracious guide and host. His passion for olives and biodiverse farming was contagious. We learned so much!! If you visit Naxos, don’t miss this!
This tour and tasting was the highlight of our trip. Terrific local insights into olive oil and the farm is stunning. The olive oil tasting was absolutely delicious and paired with so many fresh, yummy treats that were homemade or picked directly from the farm. If I could give more than 5 stars I would!
Definitely one of the best tours we've been on. Beautiful surroundings and a very interesting tour - so much to see and learn!
