So fun! - We had the best time! We were looking for an olive oil tour during our stay in Cortona. This one popped up and we were not disappointed. Staff made us feel so welcome. They seem to be new at this as our guide kept her clipboard close. They have done a good job providing English translations on the description cards, and the video is also in English which helped pull it all together. Our tasting for 6 was set up in the shop. It included the 3 styles of olive oil they produce alongside a small bite. Each really accentuated the olive oil. They have a nice selection of wines as well. We were able to purchase before we left. Staff made sure to bubble wrap since we would be traveling.
