An awesome experience. We did expect some oil tasting, nur what we got was extraordinary wine, oil and food. On top the service was very nice. We had one italian speaking girl that was translating for us, but they offer the tour in several languages. Would recommend it!

We caught on to the family business in Orvieto (check out their restaurant, it's great) and after enjoying their wine, olive oils and food there, we wanted to check out the Frantoio. Chiara gave us a great tour around her family's mill and the production facilities and then we got to try the different olive oils, complimenting different foods. Lovely. And now we've got great olive oil and wine!
