Two Hours. A Lifetime of Flavour.
01 — Arrive at the Masseria
Step into our 13th-century farmhouse between Ostuni and Lecce. Four generations of olive farming started here, and we can't wait to share the story with you.
02 — Walk the Ancient Olive Grove
Stroll through our olive grove in the shade of trees that are over two hundred years old. We'll tell you how we grow, how we harvest, and why the timing matters so much.

We'll guide you through three award-winning extra virgin olive oils: Coratina, Biancolilla, and Peranzana. Bold and peppery, smooth and fruity, or somewhere in between. You'll never taste olive oil the same way again.

We finish with our favourite local wine and a proper Salento aperitivo. Good food, good company, and the Puglia sun above you.

"The olive tasting was amazing. Arianna was incredibly warm and inviting. Her passion for her family business shines through and makes this experience incredibly unique and enjoyable. For the olive oil itself, we've never tasted anything like it."
Jasmine, Birmingham, United Kingdom
"Highly recommend. We travelled up from Otranto for an amazing afternoon with Arianna and David. Their beautiful masseria is surrounded by incredible olive groves in a simply serene setting. Arianna has so much love for her trees and talks with such passion. A fascinating, unforgettable experience."

Four Generations. One Grove.
In 1885, Vincenzo planted the first olive tree on this land, a few kilometres from the sun-baked coast of Puglia. Four generations later, his great-granddaughter Arianna still tends these trees with the same care.
The masseria, a fortified farmhouse dating to the 13th century, remains the heart of production. Arianna studied economics in Rome, the Netherlands and France before returning to Puglia. As a certified EVOO sommelier, she now guides visitors through the art of olive oil tasting.
David, our wine sommelier, is always by your side during the tasting. And Giovanni makes sure every guest feels right at home the moment they arrive.
