Learn to taste premium Sardinian olive oil, visit an old oil museum, and enjoy local food, sparkling wine, and flavored oils in one hour.

“Highly recommended. One of the highlights of our trip to Sardinia. Francesco is very passionate and knowledgeable about olive oil and he made us feel very welcome. It was interesting to learn more about olive oils and how to spot the good ones, and we’ll not be looking at olive oils the same way before. We also tasted some delicious food and wine and got recommendations for other things to visit locally. We bought quite a few products to take home with us all of which were priced fairly for the quality offered.”
