Spiros, our guide, was one of the best guides we have ever had. The tour was an educational experience about olive oil

Very educational. Learned what I'm doing wrong about using olive oil. Fascinating small villages on the way to this olive mill. Great tasting.

Absolutely amazing! I had booked the evening before for the next day, and all ran smoothly. Ended up being alone but was picked up on time, was shown some beautiful spots along the drive to the mill, and enjoyed an incredibly in depth discussion on the history of olive oil pressing in Corfu. The tasting portion was equally amazing, from the oil itself, to the cheese plate, to the homemade yogurt with quince jam (and olive oil drizzle)--completely delightful. The trip to the 1,500 year old olive tree was also magical and pictures hardly do it justice. This should be on the top of everyone's Corfu list, especially if you're at all curious about olive oil taste or production, or just would love a moment away from the hustle and bustle.

Everything about this tour was super. Our guide communicated well, and showed obvious care about their product. The tasting room experience was informative and eye-opening. The end trip to the olive grove was beautiful. The shop to purchase their product was VERY reasonably priced. Take this tour!

If you love olive oil and want to learn more and taste the best this tour is for you. First you take multiple switch backs to get up to the farm - luckily way back is different and along the coast line. Eirini was our guide - absolutely wonderful. She started with history on how they use to make it - crazy. She was also honest and said how bad the old process was. Through out she would ask questions and quiz us. We then went to the new machines and method. Cold press the only way to go. We then went in to a beautiful event room for our tasting. She taught us how to taste like a judge. The tasting ended with olive oil over gelato - OMG the best. I wish I had more room to bring home more - as it is I bough 6 bottle/Tins. The farm is lovely, lots of dogs and cats and even GrandPa who is 92!. Before heading to the coast to go back we stopped to see 1500 year old olive oil tree - we actually climbed in it to take picture. Could. Not get it to download. We had the option to go to port or be droppe doff in Old Town - great to do this tour and still have time to walk the city.
