Olive Oil Tasting · Sicily
Sicily is one of Italy’s great olive-oil regions — its intense sun and volcanic soils produce robust, peppery extra-virgin oils from native cultivars like Nocellara and Biancolilla. An olive oil tasting in Sicily takes you into a working grove and mill to learn how the oil is made and how to taste it properly.
Tastings usually pair the oils with local wine, bread, and Sicilian produce — a relaxed, agricultural counterpoint to the island’s busy street-food tours. Olive oil tour and olive oil tasting describe the same experience here; supply is thin, so book ahead.

Guest Reviews
"The entire presentation was well done. We toured the olive grove, and went back to Francesco’s home and shared Italian appetizers , tasted olive oil and wine and enjoyed the company of people from around the world ! Highly recommend this tour with Francesco. You won’t be disappointed ! You can also order and have it items shipped home."
"Such a unique experience! My family and I traveled together to Palermo from the US. We booked this and were so impressed! It was a nice escape from the hustle and bustle of Palermo. We loved seeing the groves and getting to experience Francesco’s grandparents home. Sitting around a table with people from all over the world tasting their very own olive oil, balsamic, wine, & limoncello was such a treat. Must do!! Thanks Francesco & family!"
"It was all great! The hosts were fantastic and food was delicious. Very informative. Had a great time"
"We had such a memorable time with Francesco and his grandparents! It was raining all day so we weren't able to walk through the olive vineyards but the sampling of the olive oil and vinegar and wine and limoncello was excellent - not to mention the other Italian snacks that we enjoyed. It was great hearing the history of the family operations and learning more about the products, especially how the olives are harvested and processed. The Limoncello was exceptional - easily the best we have ever had. The perfect level of sweetness, and so smooth, and the fresh lemon taste. It was also fun communicating with his grandparents about my family that immigrated from Sicily. Would 100% recommend!"
"It was an amazing time meeting Francesco and his family. The tour was informative and laid back. A great local experience at a great price point. Highly recommend!"
