We had a wonderful afternoon with Aspassia! We learned a lot about olive oils and olive trees and had a professional tasting and pairing with delicious food. Aspassia is very knowledgeable and the setting is just magical! Thank you for hosting us!

Experience located in a magical place: in the middle of Oliviers almost millennia. Benevolent welcome from Aspassia and very interesting explanations. The tasting followed by a real feast, alfresco, alongside the olive trees (and adorable kittens) give this experience a unique side.
We therefore recommend this experience 200% and reiterate our thanks to Aspassia for her kindness.

We had a magical time in the ancient olive grove with the friendliest animals. We enjoyed the history and story telling that brought us to our tasting. We learned a lot and left with a new appreciation for olive oil varieties and how to pair it properly. Highly recommend!
